Tasting Notes: Percarlo is 100% estate grown Sangiovese grapes, especially selected bunch per bunch, from the best zones of the vineyards. Percarlo is aged in French oak barrels for 20-22 months and kept in bottled for another 18 months before being released. The wine is towering in mouth feel and scope, showing the more muscular side of Sangiovese. Campfire smoke, lavender, black cherries and exotic spices fills the glass.
Estate History: San Giusto a Rentennano, a name of Etruscan origin, overlooks the Arbia river in the southern Chianti Classico wine zone. The estate began life as a medieval monastery of Cistercian nuns and was called San Giusto alle Monache (“of the Nuns”). In 1204 it was fortified by the Florentines, after a treaty established it as their boundry with Siena. Only portions of the ancient fortification still stand, its crenellated battlements, massive barbican wall and underground vaults, used today as the ageing cellars for our wines. The medieval estate of San Giusto a Rentennano came into the Martini di Cigala family through marriage in 1914. In 1957, it was inherited by Enrico Martini di Cigala and in 1992, by his nine children. Today Anna, Lucia, Elisabetta, Francesco, Alessandro and Luca are partners in the estate company.
