Le Pergole Torte isn’t just one of Italy’s great wines—it’s a benchmark for what Sangiovese can be at its most refined. First produced in the late 1970s, it was among the first 100% Sangiovese wines to challenge the Chianti Classico status quo, and it’s since become a cult icon. The fruit comes from the oldest vines at Montevertine, high in the hills of Radda in Chianti, and the wine is crafted with a Burgundian sense of clarity, site, and restraint.

The 2020 vintage is beautifully lifted and detailed: bright red cherry, dried rose, sweet herbs, and a dusting of Tuscan earth. It’s silky but structured, with fine tannins and that effortless Montevertine balance—power without weight, length without heaviness. In magnum, everything is amplified: the freshness, the aging potential, the sense of occasion.

This is a wine that’s both collectible and deeply personal—equally at home in a cellar or on a dinner table. Serve with truffle risotto, aged pecorino, or just the right company and a slow evening.

You probably already know about Montevertine. It has been one Tuscany's brightest stars for decades, on the forefront of every movement that has made the region what it is today. They stepped out of the consorzio because of their belief in Sangiovese, helping to create the Super-Tuscan movement. They have always sought to express their distinct Radda terroir, laying the foundation for today's growing interest in Chianti's varied crus (and especially in Radda!).

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 98
"The 2020 Le Pergole Torte is a total stunner. Rich, sumptuous and layered, the 2020 possesses exceptional balance and class to burn. The 2020 is an opulent, racy and super-expressive wine with no hard edges and exceptional balance. Readers will find a super-classic Pergole Torte endowed with tremendous fruit purity. Dark-toned fruit, lavender, sage, graphite and spice build into a potent laced with a kiss of French oak and enough tannin to ensure fabulous development in the cellar." -Vinous

What importer Rosenthal Wine Merchant has to say about this wine...

The prestige wine of Montevertine is only produced in outstanding vintages. This ultimate wine is aged in large Slavonian oak barrels for 18 months and then racked into small French oak (Allier) barrels for the final six month stage of its élevage. It is produced primarily from a two hectare vineyard planted in 1968 exclusively to Sangiovese vines with a north-northeast exposure.
