Le Pergole Torte is the wine that started a revolution. When Montevertine walked away from the Chianti Classico appellation in 1981 rather than blend in the white grapes the rules then required, this 100% Sangiovese bottling from a single vineyard in Radda became one of the world's most celebrated wines of terroir, albeit as a humble IGT. Radda, Chianti's highest-elevation village, gives wines of bright red-berry fruit and aromatic lift, and this is its purest expression. The 2013 was a cool, classic vintage built for the long haul, and at over a decade old it's beginning to show its mature side while still having plenty of life ahead. The magnum format slows that evolution further, so this is the bottle to lay down or to open for a table worth the occasion. A benchmark Tuscan wine; decant and savor.

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.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar ragu, osso buco, or aged pecorino.

Tasting Profile

Pure, high-toned Sangiovese. Radda's bright red cherry and wild berry fruit lifted by floral aromatics, with maturing notes of dried herbs, tobacco and earth. Medium to full-bodied, fine-grained tannins, vivid acidity, long and elegant.
