Percarlo is a Sangiovese of extraordinary power and finesse, which combines the strength of the Tuscan terroir with an enveloping elegance, destined to leave an indelible mark over time.
Typical Geographical Indication
Produced from 100% Sangiovese grapes, selected bunch by bunch from the best vineyards, with a limited yield of about 0.8 kg per plant, often harvested beyond the usual levels of ripeness. Fermentation and maceration take place in enameled cement tanks and last up to 30-35 days. The elevation takes place in 500 Lt French oak barrels and tonneaux for 20-22 months and the wine ages for 18 months in the bottle in our cellars. Most of the vineyards destined for the production of Percarlo are located on soils of Pliocene origin, formed by layers of sand and pebbles (tuff) from 2 to 5 meters deep, below which there are clay banks. A smaller part is found on galestro and alberese soils, on the south-west side of the company; the "Corsignano" vineyards, near Monti in Chianti, are located on decidedly more clayey soils. The average altitude is 270 m above sea level. Despite the diversity between vintages (an expression of each wine faithful to its terroir), Percarlo shows a continuity of characteristics that gives it its own precise identity. It is a wine for long aging, a strong expression of the San Giusto a Rentennano lands.
