The 2001 Percarlo (magnum) impresses for its length and overall sense of harmony. I am quite surprised to see just how delicate the 2001 comes across in this vertical, as I expected a bigger wine. The 2001 remains quite young, but readers should expect a more laid back style relative to the powerhouse vintages.

The 2001 Percarlo (magnum) impresses for its length and overall sense of harmony. I am quite surprised to see just how delicate the 2001 comes across in this vertical, as I expected a bigger wine. The 2001 remains quite young, but readers should expect a more laid back style relative to the powerhouse vintages. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2021. This complete vertical of Percarlo left me speechless. Brothers Luca and Francesco Martini di Cigala showed me every vintage of Percarlo, back to the inaugural 1983, a wine that has now run its full course. I was deeply struck by the consistency of the wines from year to year, and even more importantly, by the great showing of a number of wines from long forgotten vintages, proving yet again the importance of choosing producer over vintage. Percarlo started off as a selection of the estate’s best vineyards. In 2001 the Cigalas sharpened their approach by focusing on what is now literally a bunch by bunch selection across all of the fruit that comes into the winery, an approach they favor because of the huge inconsistency Sangiovese can often show from vine to vine, and even within the same cluster. I also tasted a few vintages of the Chianti Classico Le Baroncole, the top Sangiovese bottling made in vintages not deemed suitable for Percarlo.
