"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 Percarlo 2021 is just as breathtaking in the bottle as it is in the barrel. Rich and vibrant in the glass, with impressive complexity, the 2021 is a fine successor to the 2020. I'm looking forward to comparing these two monumental wines in a few years' time. At the moment, the 2021 impresses with its pure Sangiovese fruit and stunning balance. Hints of cherry, blood orange and pomegranate linger on the vibrant, exceptionally polished finish. What a wine." Vinous 99p
"This red wine is fresh and reminiscent of flavours of cherries, raspberries, iron, earth and tobacco. Despite the firm tannins, an impression of finesse is created, which is supported by the lively acidity. On the palate, the cherry and raspberry flavours come to the fore, delivering a pure expression of red fruit. Balanced and long, but requires patience." Wine Spectator 97p
"This is a complex and deep wine, an old-fashioned sangiovese. There are multifaceted aromas of red cherries, dried cherries, raspberries, camphor, earth and elegant dried flowers. Full-bodied and velvety, with a weighty mid-palate and integrated but tense acidity. Meaty and savory flavors coat the tannins, with a long, precise aftertaste." James Suckling 97p
