The Winery

San Giusto a Rentennano

Overlooking the Arbia River in the farthest southern part of the Chianti Classico wine region is the estate of San Giusto a Rentennano. Initially a medieval monastery for Cistercian nuns, the estate was passed through ownership until 1992 when it was finally inherited by Enrico Martini di Cigala and his nine children. The winery is known for their Chianti Classico & Classico Riserva but their real fame comes from its two Tuscan wines: a rare Merlot called La Ricolma and a Sangiovese called Percalo. Enjoy a bottle while you can!

Tasting Notes

WA96
The profound beauty of the 2010 Percarlo cannot be exaggerated. This is an exceptional wine, and one of the best I tasted in Tuscany this year. The bouquet shows infinite layering and a steady evolution in the glass with tones of red cherry, spice, caramel, cigar ash, balsam herb and cola. It shows new dimension with each swirl of the glass. The mouthfeel, on the other hand, is steady and strong, with a gripping sense of structure that is yielding but dense at the same time. A point of acidity adds levity and length. This is an excellent candidate for long cellaring.
