"The 2006 Le Pergole Torte is utterly spellbinding. It hasn't fleshed out yet like the 2004, but it nevertheless possesses breathtaking inner perfume, great purity in its fruit and fabulous overall balance. Today the tannins remain a touch firm, but the wine's beauty is impossible to miss. True pleasure is still a few years away. I imagine the 2006 will still be fabulous at age 30. The 2006 Pergole Torte is shaping up to be yet another jewel in a long line of stunning wines from Montevertine. (AG) " 98/100 Vinous
Le Pergole Torte 2006 - Montevertine
Produced for the first time in the 1977 vintage, it was the first pure Sangiovese vinified in the Radda in Chianti area. The grapes come from the company's historic vineyards, planted between 1968 and 1999. It matures for one year in Allier barriques and one year in Slavonian oak barrels.
Montevertine is located in the heart of the Chianti hills, in Radda in Chianti at 425 meters above sea level, where exclusively the traditional varieties of the Chianti area are cultivated: Sangiovese, Canaiolo and Colorino.
At Montevertine simplicity, respect, attention to every detail and savoir-faire are the guide every day.
Montevertine è stata acquistata nel 1967 da Sergio Manetti, allora industriale siderurgico, come casa di vacanza. Egli restaurò la casa rendendola abitabile e subito impiantò due ettari di vigna ed allestì una piccola cantina con l’idea di produrre un po’ di vino per i suoi amici e clienti.
After the success of the first vintage (1971) , new vineyards were planted and new cellars built, with company growth that has never stopped. Sergio Manetti passed away in November 2000, since that day the farm has been managed by his son Martino Manetti who keeps intact the traditional values that have always been the flag of Montevertine.
