2022 San Giusto a Rentennano Percarlo

San Giusto a Rentennano, originally a monastery fortified in 1204 by the Florentines as their boundary with Siena, today uses the underground vaults built as part of the fortification as their cellars. For centuries it was owned by the Ricasoli family of neighbouring Brolio, passing to the Martini di Cigala family in 1957. This beautiful 160 hectare estate, with 30 of vineyards, is run by brothers and sister team of Francesco, Luca and Elisabetta. The vineyards enjoy exceptional exposure with considerable day and night temperature differences and the terrain is composed of various soils rich in minerals. San Giusto’s wines are renowned for their elegance, balancing rich fruit and beautiful aromatics with superb freshness.

The 2022 Percarlo is seriously impressive. I can't wait to see how it ages. Sumptuous and packed to the core, the 2022 flows with the essence of dark red fruit, spice, cedar, new leather, pomegranate and blood orange. I would not dream of touching a bottle any time soon. Hints of rose petal, cinnamon and dried herbs linger on the substantial finish. The 2022 spent 22 months in oak, mostly 30hl casks with some 500-liter tonneaux. Drink 2030-2052.
