Le Pergole Torte 2020 Montevertine
Le Pergole Torte is a prestigious Tuscan wine crafted by Montevertine. It stands among the most sought-after and renowned Italian wines, born almost by chance and later introduced at Vinitaly where it achieved tremendous success.
This masterpiece, born from the passion of Sergio Manetti, is an icon of Chianti Classico, situated in Radda, where tradition boldly challenges market trends.
The magic unfolds in the Sangiovese vineyards, a mere 2.5 hectares out of the total 18 owned by Montevertine. The grape selection is rigorous, and the fermentation process, both alcoholic and malolactic, takes place in concrete tanks. The maturation period is an art in three acts: initially in Slavonian oak barrels for 12 months, followed by Allier barriques for another 12 months, culminating in a 6-month bottle rest.
The result, "Le Pergole Torte," is a layered and complex Sangiovese, revealed in the glass with an elegant ruby-red hue. The bouquet, an ode to complexity, unveils notes of red fruit, noble spices, cocoa, and coffee, all against a mineral backdrop of graphite. In the mouth, it unravels an aristocratic dance between freshness and smoothness, a refined structure clashing with potency, culminating in an endless finish.
The artistic legacy of Alberto Manfredi, a longtime artist, bestows the labels with the allure of stylized faces, creating connections with the past. The story of "Le Pergole Torte" is an anthem to Sergio Manetti's passion, a journey that began as a hobby for friends and evolved into an icon inspiring producers worldwide. An Italian monument, a liquid emotion that continues to embody elegance, nobility, and precision in the world of Supertuscans.
