A glorious expression of Radda terroir, now entering its drinking window. Sergio Manetti founded Montevertine in 1967 in Radda in Chianti and famously walked away from the Chianti Classico consortium in the early 1980s, choosing to bottle his wines as Toscana IGT instead. His son Martino runs the estate today. This is the eponymous 'Montevertine' bottling, the estate's namesake mid-tier wine (the top cuvée being Le Pergole Torte): roughly 90% Sangiovese with Canaiolo and Colorino, fermented in cement and aged about 24 months in large Slavonian oak. The 2015 vintage was warm and generous in Tuscany, and at a decade in bottle this wine is in a sweet spot, primary fruit beginning to cede to sous bois, tobacco, and dried herbs. Drink now through the mid-2030s.

"The 2015 Montevertine has closed down massively since it was bottled in February 2018. Beams of tannin dominate over the radiant fruit that was much more expressive when the wine was in barrel. Readers will have to be patient with the 2015, as it needs at least a few years in bottle to show the natural richness of the vintage that was so evident when the wine was in barrel. This should be an especially cellar worthy 2015." —Antonio Galloni

"This beautiful wine grabs your attention from the start. Tasted as a barrel sample, the 2015 Montevertine opens to a rich and beautifully saturated color. The wine's density is more extracted and dense, and the aromas are abundantly generous and opulent as a result. Yet, all that excess is carefully contained within the elegant and nuanced approach so perfectly expressed by this historic estate. Blue flower definition with violets and lavender segue to dark fruit, spice and white pepper. The blend is 90% Sangiovese with smaller parts Canaiolo and Colorino. The wine is fermented in cement and then ages in oak for two years. Montevertine sees fruit sourced from the same vineyard that makes Pian del Ciampolo, but fruit here represents a first selection." —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.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Classic Tuscan match for bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar ragu over pappardelle, roast lamb with rosemary, or aged Pecorino. Also superb with grilled portobellos or truffle risotto.

Tasting Profile

Dried cherry, leather, tobacco leaf, and sweet balsamic notes layer over a still-vibrant sangiovese core. Medium-plus body, fine-grained tannins, savory iron-edged finish. Mature, complex, unmistakably Radda.
