Cellar Alert: Another Incredible 2010 Tuscan - The Unbelievable San Giusto a Rentennano Percarlo 2010 The 2010 vintage in Tuscan continues to show its superb quality with yet another "super" IGT Tuscan wine, this time it is the magnificent San Giusto Percarlo, consistently one of the top Tuscan wines since it was first produced in 1983. Made from 100% Sangiovese, it was originally a selection of the top "Crus", but is now crafted from the very best fruit on the entire property. The family sorts the grapes bunch by bunch at harvest to determine which make the cut for Percarlo. Vineyard work is largely manual and they are certified organic. Very low yields of 1kg/vine is normal, and the vineyards are composed of layers of sand and stones 2 to 5 meters deep on a bed of clay at 270 meters above sea level. This vineyard site also boasts great exposure, with warm days and cool nights. The fermentation can last up to 35 days in lined cement vats, with only indigenous yeasts, followed by aging in French oak barriques for 20-22 months, and held in bottle for 18 months before release. Only 1600 cases are made in the best vintages. The results are a stunningly concentrated, rich and full expression of Tuscan at its best. It is seamless, with layers of lush dark fruit, spice, espresso, mocha and graphite. Solid and mouth-filling, this wine should be cellared for 4-5 years and will then drink great over the next 8-10 years or so. This wine has a track record of outstanding quality, and the 2010 looks like it just may be one of the very best ever. We don't sell wine on the scores, but as a word of caution this has received very high marks from the press (and has consistently done so since it was first made in 1983), and I mention it only because that will most likely result in this wine selling out very quickly.
