From the estate that rewrote the rules of Tuscan wine, this is Montevertine's flagship Rosso (the Montevertine bottling), a Sangiovese-based blend with small amounts of Canaiolo and Colorino, grown in the high-elevation village of Radda in Chianti. Like its more famous sibling Le Pergole Torte, it carries the humble IGT designation only because the estate famously walked away from the Chianti Classico appellation in 1981. It delivers Radda's signature: bright red-berry fruit and aromatic elegance with a real sense of place. The 2013 was a cool, classic vintage, and after more than a decade it's drinking in a lovely mature window now.

Antonio Galloni

"The 2013 Montevertine is a firm, classically built wine that is likely to require quite a few years to unwind. Bright acidity and beams of tannin provide the structural backbone. Still very primary and unevolved, the 2013 has closed down considerably since I tasted it from cask last year. The searing, mid-weight style will appeal most to readers who enjoy classically austere wines, but bottles opened before the age of ten are likely to not be particularly enjoyable. This is a wine for the long haul." —Antonio Galloni

"Adopting a soft and intricate approach, the 2013 Montevertine is like an Impressionist's painting executed with pastel colors and bright patches of luminosity. The wine is subtle and undertone, yet the power of the narrative is not lost. It speaks of the purity of Sangiovese with impeccable aromas of wild cherry and white cherry that are followed by pressed rose and dried violets. The mouthfeel is silky and polished. The slightly cooler vintage, the long growing season and slow ripening have all contributed to create this truly authentic taste of Sangiovese." —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.

Tasting Profile

Elegant, high-toned Sangiovese from Radda's elevation. Bright red cherry and berry fruit with floral lift, now showing mature notes of dried herbs, leather and earth. Medium-bodied, fine tannins, fresh acidity, long savory finish.
