Montevertine is a small Chianti estate of eighteen hectares, first planted in 1967 by Sergio Manetti assisted by legendary oenologist Giulio Gambelli. By 1981 Manetti was finding the DOC Chianti too restrictive, so he decided instead to produce a premium Tuscan wine that he hoped would convey the terroir of his site, particularly with Sangiovese. Thus he withdrew from the Chianti Consorzio, and Le Pergole Torte Vino da Tavola was born. Today, his son Martino remains committed to developing Montevertine following his father’s recipe.
Captivating aromas of black and sour cherries, flowers, spices, star anise, vanilla and tobacco. The palate is balanced and structured with elegant tannins and excellent fresh-savoury notes. The finish is long and fruity.
One of the purest expression of Sangiovese. Only produced in exceptional years.
