Description
Percarlo 2018 Sangiovese IGT Toscana by San Giusto a Rentennano
Percarlo 2018 is a great Tuscan red signed by San Giusto a Rentennano, made from 100% Sangiovese and designed to best enhance elegance, depth, and territorial identity. It is a wine of strong personality, built on substance, freshness, and precision, with a style that combines intensity and measure. The 2018 harvest favored a regular maturation of the grapes, resulting in a balanced wine with acidity that can express fruit, substance, and gustatory momentum.
Territory and wine style
The Percarlo 2018 originates in Tuscany as IGT Sangiovese di Toscana, from a careful selection of the best company parcels. San Giusto a Rentennano interprets this grape variety, a symbol of the region, with rigor and coherence, focusing on low yields, long skin contact, and significant aging in wood. The result is a structured red wine that is not excessive, capable of combining breadth, freshness, and depth, with a profile that reflects the vocation of the most authentic Sangiovese.
Tasting notes
In the glass, the Percarlo 2018 shows an intense and bright red color. On the nose, one can expect notes of ripe fruit, delicate spices, and more complex nuances given by aging, with an elegant and clear imprint. On the palate, it enters decisively, supported by a well-present acid structure, an important body, and dense but integrated tannins. The sip is deep, dynamic, and persistent, with a long finish that leaves sensations of freshness, fruit, and balance.
Recommended pairings
Thanks to its intensity and dry setup, Percarlo 2018 pairs well with Florentine steak, important roasts, braised dishes, game, oven-roasted lamb, and rich first courses of Tuscan tradition. It also works very well with aged cheeses and flavorful preparations based on mushrooms or stewed meats. It is a wine that naturally accompanies structured cuisine and the most important convivial moments.
Serving temperature
It is recommended to serve Percarlo 2018 at 17°C-18°C. If opened in advance, it benefits from some time in the glass or decanter to best express its aromatic profile and taste structure. In mature vintages, it may be useful to pay attention to any natural sedimentation, a sign of its essential processing.
Why buy it
Percarlo 2018 is an ideal choice for those looking for a Tuscan Sangiovese of great character, with a balance between power, freshness, and finesse. It is a wine that well narrates the work of San Giusto a Rentennano, the solidity of the denomination, and the ability of the territory to express long-lasting reds. Perfect for the cellar of those who want to buy wine online with a high-quality orientation and with a label capable of accompanying important lunches, special dinners, and memorable occasions.
