Tasting Notes
The profound beauty of the 2010 Percarlo cannot be exaggerated. This is an exceptional wine, and one of the best I tasted in Tuscany this year. The bouquet shows infinite layering and a steady evolution in the glass with tones of red cherry, spice, caramel, cigar ash, balsam herb and cola. It shows new dimension with each swirl of the glass. The mouthfeel, on the other hand, is steady and strong, with a gripping sense of structure that is yielding but dense at the same time. A point of acidity adds levity and length. This is an excellent candidate for long cellaring. ||The Martini di Cigala family makes some of the most expressive and interpretive wines in Tuscany. One of the true standouts of the vintage is the 2010 Percarlo (100% Sangiovese) that beautifully captures a thrilling sense of power and elegance that work seamlessly together. eRobertParker.com.October, 2014
