The 2020 Percarlo soars out of the glass with striking inner perfume and layers of brilliant red-toned Sangiovese fruit. Dense and layered, with exceptional balance, the 2020 is shaping up to be a jewel of a wine. Silky, plush tannins caress the substantial finish. I can't wait to taste this from bottle.

The organic San Giusto a Rentennano 2020 Percarlo is born in a vintage of power, concentration and dark fruit flavors. All of these elements are delivered here, and as always, the wine shows impeccable Sangiovese balance with a spotlight on primary fruit, integrated tannins and bright acidity. The alcohol is high at 15%. In fact, the wine tastes young, and that's not something you can say of most of the other releases from the 2020 vintage. This expression, however, still holds back just a bit and consequently promises an excellent cellar-aging evolution.
