Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, San Giusto a Rentennano’s 2020 “Percarlo” IGT Toscana is a remarkable expression of Sangiovese, crafted from the estate’s best vineyard plots. Known for its high-altitude, clay-limestone soils, the estate imparts an elegance and complexity to the wine, making it a standout in Tuscany’s competitive landscape.

The 2020 vintage opens with aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and plum, seamlessly interwoven with earthy notes of tobacco, leather, and a hint of herbs. On the palate, it is full-bodied with firm tannins that provide structure, while the acidity lifts the rich fruit and adds freshness. The finish is long and complex, with lingering notes of dark fruit, spice, and an earthy minerality that reflects the terroir.

This wine is ideal for pairing with roasted meats, braised lamb, or rich pasta dishes. While it is already a beautiful expression of Tuscany’s potential, its structure suggests it will evolve beautifully with time. San Giusto a Rentennano’s “Percarlo” 2020 captures the depth, power, and refinement that make Tuscany’s top-tier reds so exceptional.

More about San Giusto a Rentennano

San Giusto has been farming Chianti Classico organically since 2006, working the vineyards almost entirely by hand. Their Chianti tastes classic and pure—no fancy new oak, no overextracting. Just beautiful Sangiovese that tastes like it's been made this way forever.

Tuscany: the land of hills, olive groves, and wine. And above all other wines, Chianti Classico.

Chianti, you may know, is not a tiny region. The best Chiantis, though, are from Chianti Classico, the communes spread out between Florence and Siena and over which these two city-states warred for centuries (oh, how we're glad not to be 17th-century peasants!).

In our fantasy, these wines are hand made by artisans working with old, organic methods. That fantasy is hardly the rule. But all of these wonderful things come together at San Giusto a Rentennano. If you visit the estate you may be invited to taste in an old wooden barn. The walls are lined with ancient tools and drying herbs hang from the ceiling. The glasses sit on an ancient table and as you taste it becomes impossible to tell what century you are in.

San Giusto is in Chianti Classico's southern commune of Gaiole. Gaiole makes the region's most structured wines. The family grows olives, Sangiovese, and a little Canaiolo. (They also grow a dash of Merlot for their supertuscan, "La Ricolma," a too-rare example of French grapes making great wine in the Chianti). They farm everything organically and by hand. Their top bottling, Percarlo, is famous—especially in Europe, where it is regarded as one of Italy's very greatest wines. It is less known here, for no good reason at all.
