"Percarlo er fremstillet første gang i 1983. Druerne selekteres klase for klase fra de ældste planter fra de 8 bedste ha med Sangiovese. De høstes relativt sent og får lov at modne udover den normale modningstid og høstudbyttet er lavt. Det giver en stofrig, potent vin, der kan antage en rosenfloral karakter og som altid har en unik varietaltypicitet, der individueres af dyrkningshabitatet: Markant struktureret, med smidige, modne tanniner, stor, næsten imposant smagsfylde og en overbevisende længde i afslutningen. Anvendelsen af ny eg er på det seneste nedtonet og der anvendes nu en kombination af barriques og tonneaux. Percarlo er på mange måder det ypperste udtryk for Sangiovese dyrket i Gaiole og er en vin, der for længst har opnået kultstatus. Gemmes til særlige lejligheder, eller: lejligheden bliver særlig, når vinen drikkes." Adriat
"The 2017 Percarlo is an exotic beauty. Rich and sumptuous in the glass, with tremendous fruit density, the 2017 packs a serious punch. Succulent dark cherry, plum, licorice, menthol and earthy notes emerge over time, but the tannins remain imposing. Like the Baròncole, the Percarlo needs cellaring to be at its best. The 2017 was much more forthcoming from barrel. It will reveal all of that sumptuousness once again, but not soon. Drink: 2025-2042." Vinous 97 points
"This red is saturated with blackberry, black currant, violet, iron and spice flavors. Powerful tannins lend support and this finishes with lingering fruit and rustic tannins, with terrific length. Best from 2023 through 2036. 850 cases made, 175 cases imported." Wine Spectator 95p
"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. Percarlo is released in 13,302 bottles, 700 magnums, 100 double magnums and 20 Imperial bottles (or double double magnums). Drink: 2022-2043." Wine Advocate 94p
