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. A benchmark Tuscan wine; decant and savor.

"The 2013 Le Pergole Torte is another wine that has gone into a shell over the last year. Bold, pungent and powerful, the 2013 possesses striking fruit and overall presence, but it is presently totally shut down. Today, the tannins are forbidding, to say the least. The 2013 Pergole Torte is a wine for the exceedingly patient." —Antonio Galloni

"Perhaps no Tuscan wine is a better vintage ambassador than the Montevertine 2013 Le Pergole Torte. This gorgeous wine seems to have captured the energy, the freshness, the spirt and the edginess of this classic vintage. It really speaks to my palate thanks to its silky consistency, its steady aromatic momentum and its understated elegance. The wine shows an uncanny level of the proverbial Tuscan nobility. The bouquet offers a delicate embroidery of wild berry and underbrush, with lingering tones of dark fruit and spice that appear on second nose. The mouthfeel is ethereal and polished with tannins that already show a superior level of integration despite the wine's young age. The aging future looks very bright for the 2013 Le Pergole Torte." —Monica Larner

"If 1999 was a testament to Sergio Manetti, 2013 is the 'heritage vintage' of his son Martino. Again, harvest commenced on the 7 October in a vintage that's considered very classic for Tuscany. This was the second vintage with Paolo Salvi as winemaker, and it's the best expression of Le Pergole Torte of the decade. It's youthful and almost crimson at its core, showing signature aromas of privet and matcha tea over a savoury cherry and boiled beetroot core. It has a hearty character with large, velvety tannins and melting acidity."

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.

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.
