Sangiovese in purezza. Wonderfully spicy aroma, dark forest berries and cherries, some graphite and cedar wood. Silky elegance on the palate, juicy, dark berries, paired with an animating interplay of fruit and acidity that really lets the wine dance across the tongue. Percarlo has depth and length as well as potential for many years in the cellar. One of the great single-varietal Sangiovese wines of central Tuscany. SUPERIORE.DE

"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

"This is a complex and broodingwine, an old-style Sangiovese. It has varied flavours of red cherries, dried cherries, raspberries, camphor, earth and elegant dried flowers. Full-bodied and velvety, with a weighty mid-palate and an integrated but taut acidity. Fleshy and spicy flavours envelop the tannins, with a long, precise aftertaste." James Suckling

"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

"This wine blew me away and remains one of my favorites in this report. The 2021 Percarlo is all Sangiovese and represents excellent work by detail-minded vintner Luca Martini di Cigala. It shows delightful intensity and richness backed by chiseled fruit and lifted aromas of blackcurrant, spice, tar, earth and violet. There is power here, but the wine is also delicate. I love the determination of this vintage. Percarlo plays beautifully on the nose and over the palate with freshness, chalky tannins and lingering fruit. There's nothing heavy about it." Wine Advocate
