About this winery

Montevertine is located in the heart of Chianti, on the top of a hill at 425 meters of altitude. Ancient documents indicate that the site has existed since the 11th century. In 1967, Sergio Manetti bought Montevertine as a vacation property while he still was a steel metallurgist. He planted two hectares and built a small cellar to produce some wine for his friends and customers. In 1971, he produced his first vintage which enjoyed immediate success. As a matter of fact, it was very appreciated...

Product notes

The first vintage released was the 1977. It was the first 100% Sangiovese wine to be produced in the Radda in Chianti area. The grapes come from our oldest vineyards, planted between 1968 and 1999.

Tasting notes

The 2015 Le Pergole Torte captures all the radiance and intensity of the vintage. Deep, powerful and resonant, the 2015 will be a racy wine once it emerges from its recent bottling. As always, the Pergole Torte is differentiated from the Montevertine by its greater textural richness and perfume. In 2015, Pergole Torte is exotically ripe and flamboyant, not to mention utterly captivating. Don't miss it. - Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, February 2019

Monica Larner, March 2018 (Vintage 2015)

Tasted as a barrel sample, the 2015 Le Pergole Torte is a 100% expression of Sangiovese sourced from the estate's oldest vines (between 30 and 50 years old). Like the other wines from Montevertine, Le Pergole Torte sees both its alcoholic and malolactic fermentations in cement, and the wine later ages in new oak barrels for 12 to 18 months depending on the vintage. After that first phase in barrique, it goes into large botte to complete its integration. This gorgeous vintage opens to a deep, dark appearance with a velvety presentation of dark fruit and black cherry flavors. The wine's textural richness is ultimately what sets this fantastic vintage apart. 2020 - 2050

Aldo Fiordelli, (Vintage 2015)

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.
