Le Pergole Torte 2015

- 94 points -

The hot 2015 vintage resulted in the most alcoholic Pergole Torte, coming in at 14%, regardless of the fact that it was harvested not long after 28 September. It has a generous fruit profile of ripe cherry and raspberry, and although it's estery on the nose it still has an underlying depth of liquorice and flowers. Refined, grainy and crunchy tannins balance the powerful fat fruit, as does the typical chewy acidity that Sangiovese rarely lacks.
