If Italy has a Burgundy, Le Pergole Torte is its grand cru. Sergio Manetti planted Sangiovese on the high-elevation, limestone-rich slopes of Montevertine in Radda in Chianti in 1968, then famously walked away from the Chianti Classico designation, choosing to bottle his single-varietal Sangiovese as Toscana IGT instead. Decades later, Le Pergole Torte is one of the most legendary wines in Italy — and the only 100% Sangiovese in the Montevertine lineup. Martino Manetti and winemaker Paolo Salvi continue the tradition: native-yeast fermentation in the estate's original concrete vats, eighteen months in large Slavonian oak, then a final six months in older French barriques. The 2022 is a young giant — sour cherry, dried rose, blood orange, tobacco leaf, balsamic herbs, fine-knit tannins, and the laser-focused acidity that's the calling card of great traditional Sangiovese. Decant it now for a glimpse; cellar it for decades for the full story.

"The 2022 Le Pergole Torte is every bit as magnificent as it was last year. Deep and expansive in the glass, with stunning depth, the 2022 stains the palate with layers of dark fruit, mocha, new leather and cedar. The 2022 starts to blossom with just a bit of time in the glass, leading to a finish that explodes on the back end. As has been the case for some time, the differences between Montevertine and Pergole Torte are increasingly mostly about style. The 2022 spent a year in Damy French oak barrels followed by a second year in cask. It will require a number of years to shed some baby fat to be at its most expressive." —Antonio Galloni

"Here is another masterpiece from vintner Martino Manetti (and winemaker Paolo Salvi, following in the footsteps of long-time key figures Giulio Gambelli and Estate Manager Bruno Bini). The Montevertine 2022 Le Pergole Torte is 100% Sangiovese made in a similar winemaking style as the others, although both botte and barrique are used here. It opens to a dark garnet appearance that is velvety and rich yet shiny on the inside with a ruby brightness that is specific to this Tuscan grape. This is an amazing wine, so precise and balanced. I love the boldness of the vintage, and I am delighted by how elegantly it unfolds over the palate. The wine is contoured and pretty in terms of texture, and yet there are mineral notes that add freshness and vertical lift. This portfolio offers good scale with three wines, an entry-level, middle-level and top-end wine, each offering a distinct identity. Production is 30,000 bottles. This is one of my favorite wines from 2022, a vintage with highs and lows. This is definitely a high." —Monica Larner

More about Montevertine

Pure expression of Radda terroir through an act of principle. When Sergio Manetti refused to add Trebbiano to his Sangiovese blend, Montevertine had to leave the Chianti Classico consortium. But he also liberated himself from rules—and proved that one grape, farmed with passion, could represent a place more honestly than compromise wines. The result: a three-decade cult following and some of Tuscany's most elegant Sangiovese.
