The 2014 Percarlo is a pure expression of Sangiovese made from organically farmed grapes. This is a dark and penetrating wine that actually tastes riper, darker and thicker than you might expect of this cool and difficult vintage. The alcohol here is 15%. Black cherry and dried blackberry segue to spice, leather, tar and grilled herb. Despite those bold and opulent fruit flavors, the wine shows moderate complexity and depth. It offers a lot in terms of muscle and power, but it's ultimately more monosyllabic in this vintage. Bottle production was 13,817 units strong.
Shows surprising ripeness for the vintage with black-cherry essence, tar, ash, cloves, bark, citrus, cedar and spices. Full-bodied, very silky and long and chewy on the finish. Tannic and muscular, this needs a lot of time, but it’s an amazing effort for a 2014. Pure Sangiovese.
