If all Chianti were like this, the world would be a better place. Many weird and wonderful things have been done with Sangiovese, but, when you strip off the pretensions, it makes wine that is enjoyable, satisfying, and, in this case, very, very classy.

About as good as it gets in terms of authentic Classico, this riserva takes San Giusto's Chianti a step further with rigorous grape selection from selected vineyards, a higher percentage of Sangiovese, and a longer ageing period - this time in new oak. A rich, punchy and concentrated style with bramble and plum flavours and a strong backbone. A wine with many years ahead of it.

The Sangiovese lucky enough to become Percarlo is specially selected from six cru zones marked out from the remainder of the estate by their aspect and sandy soil.

La Ricolma undergoes the same vigorous techniques that make the Percarlo such a great wine, and is packed with heady notes of berries, minerals, smoke and liquorice. A wine of great length with a beautiful, pure finish. Probably one of the best expressions of Merlot you will find outside of Bordeaux.
