Montevertine, Le Pergole Torte, Toscana IGT 2019

Montevertine

Case Format: 6x75cl

Montevertine is nestled in the heart of the Chinanti Hills, in the town of Radda in Chianti. There, only grape varieties native to the Chianti area – Sangiovese, Canaiolo and Colorino – are grown. At Montevertine, simplicity, respect, extreme care about details and know-how are the guiding principles that inspire their daily work. Their winemaking method is extremely traditional and has been the same since their very first harvests.

Made from carefully selected Sangiovese grapes, Le Pergole Torte is aged for about 12 months in Slavonian oak barrels and for about 12 months in Allier barriques. The first vintage released was the 1977. It was the first 100% Sangiovese wine to be produced in the Radda in Chianti area. The grapes come from Montevertine’s oldest vineyards, planted between 1968 and 1999. It is aged for one year in Allier barriques and one year in Slavonian oak barrels.

CRITIC REVIEWS

Antonio Galloni

The 2019 Le Pergole Torte is all class and refinement. At the same time, the 2019 is quite reticent at this stage. In this tasting, the Pergole Torte comes across as more refined and aromatically expressive than the Montevertine, with lovely brightness driving the red berry fruit. Elegant and sophisticated, the 2019 is a wine to treasure for the next several decades. Time in the glass brings out the floral upper register and red Sangiovese fruit of Pergole Torte.

Holding back initially, this wine simply needs more time in bottle, and I have adjusted the drinking window accordingly. The 2019 Le Pergole Torte is a long-term proposition showing initial stirrings of tart cherry fruit, plum, licorice, tobacco and crushed stone. There is a pretty floral tone of violet or rosemary flower even now. Winemaking takes this special selection of 100% Sangiovese though cement and Allier and Slavonian oak. The balanced acidity stands out nicely. There are 29,000 bottles of the 2019 vintage, and I recommend you put yours in the cellar for five to 10 more years.
