2017 SAN GIUSTO A RENTENNANO PERCARLO IGT TUSCANY 3 LITER

(94 points) 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. Indeed, the bouquet of this wine shows warm cherry confit and a touch of dried berry skin that point to the general ripeness of the grapes. Additionally, there is a hint of tannic astringency or tightness that also speaks of the challenging vintage conditions. - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, October 2021 (Monica Larner)
