Montevertine Le Pergole Torte 2022. Le Pergole Torte is the flagship wine of Montevertine, produced exclusively with Sangiovese grapes from the estate’s most prized vineyards. The 2022 vintage, marked by extreme weather conditions with prolonged heat and drought, tested the vineyards throughout Chianti. However, Radda in Chianti \u2013 thanks to its altitude, well-draining marl soils (galestro), and significant nighttime temperature variations \u2013 responded with balance, yielding healthy, perfectly ripe, and aromatically complex grapes.<\/p>\n
The result is a Pergole Torte of great expressiveness and finesse, combining the concentration and sunniness of the vintage with an aromatic depth and a gustatory tension typical of the best wines of Radda. The nose opens with intense notes of cherry, blood orange, and violet, followed by hints of medicinal herbs, licorice, and balsamic nuances. On the palate, it is elegant, structured yet dynamic, with silky tannins and a vibrant freshness that lengthens the sip. It closes with notes of graphite and fine spices, with a luminous and saline persistence.<\/p>\n
For years, Le Pergole Torte by Montevertine has been a beacon and a benchmark for any Sangiovese enthusiast.<\/p>\n
It originates from a meticulous selection of grapes in the vineyard, which ferment in concrete tanks before aging in Slavonian oak barrels for 12 months and in French oak barriques for another 12 months.<\/p>\n
Martino Manetti continues to create simply unique wines, just as his father did in his time. This wine is a sublime testament to that: balanced, crisp, long, and with an endless finish. Inimitable.<\/p>\n
Montevertine is located in the heart of Chianti, halfway between Florence and Siena, specifically 3 kilometers south of Radda in Chianti.<\/p>\n
Sergio Manetti purchased Montevertine in 1967 as a holiday home for his family. Manetti immediately planted two hectares of vineyards and built a small winery with the idea of producing wine for family and friends. The first vintage produced and bottled <\/span>under the supervision of Sergio Manetti dates back to 1971, and it was immediately clear that it would not be a wine<\/span> “just for friends.” A few years later, Manetti abandoned his main<\/span> business to dedicate himself to what had become his new passion: wine.
