Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, October 2021

The organic San Giusto a Rentennano 2017 Percarlo is a pure expression of Sangiovese from a hot and dry vintage that resulted in smaller berry size, richly concentrated flavors and a well-contained 15% alcohol content...

Vinous, September 2020

The 2017 Percarlo is an exotic beauty. Rich and sumptuous in the glass, with tremendous fruit density, the 2017 packs a serious punch. Succulent dark cherry, plum, licorice, menthol and earthy notes emerge over time, but...

Wine Spectator, October 2021

The 2017 San Giusto a Rentennano Percarlo IGT is a Sangiovese varietal wine hailing from the renowned wine-producing region of Tuscany, Italy. This vintage, described by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate as "a pure expression of Sangiovese from a hot and dry vintage," is characterized by its richly concentrated flavors and a significant 15.0% alcohol content. The wine, which boasts a deep red color, is produced organically and released in limited quantities, including 13,302 bottles, 700 magnums, 100 double magnums, and 20 imperial bottles.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded this wine a score of 97 points, highlighting its bouquet that reveals "warm cherry confit and a touch of dried berry skin," indicative of the ripeness of the grapes. The review also notes a hint of tannic astringency, a testament to the vintage's challenging conditions.

Vinous also rated the 2017 Percarlo with an impressive 97 points, describing it as "an exotic beauty" with "tremendous fruit density." The review praises the wine's "succulent dark cherry, plum, licorice, menthol, and earthy notes," although it advises that the wine's imposing tannins suggest that it will benefit from cellaring. The review notes that the wine was more forthcoming from the barrel and anticipates that it will reveal its sumptuous character again in the future.

Wine Spectator's review echoes these high praises, also scoring the wine at 97 points. The publication describes the wine as "saturated with blackberry, black currant, violet, iron and spice flavors," with powerful tannins that provide robust support. The review commends the wine's terrific length and suggests that it will be at its best from 2023 through 2036. With 850 cases made and 175 cases imported, this wine is both exclusive and highly regarded.

In summary, the 2017 San Giusto a Rentennano Percarlo IGT is a highly acclaimed Sangiovese wine, praised for its rich and concentrated flavors, robust tannins, and potential for aging. All three reviewers – Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, Vinous, and Wine Spectator – have awarded it an excellent score of 97 points, indicating its exceptional quality and desirability.
