In the second half of the 20th century, Sergio Manetti transformed his once family vacation property into one of the most important addresses in all of Chianti. Today, few wines in all of Italy command more reverence than Montevertine’s prestige bottling Le Pergole Torte. Though the winery left the Chianti Classico designation behind decades ago over a blending dispute, few wineries represent the region with more integrity and accuracy.

Montevertine

With roots dating dating back to the 11th century, when the property was used as a defense fortress, Montevertine was acquired by Sergio Manetti in 1967 as a vacation home for his family. Today, it is comprised of 18 hectares of vines, divided into 9 separate parcels, with the oldest vines planted in the Pergole Torte parcel in 1968.

As Sergion Manetti continually refused to incorporate Trebbiano into his red wines, Montevertine left the Chianti Classico consortium, thereby forgoing the Chianti Classico denomination; this set in motion a radical change in the way collectors viewed the wines of Tuscany, as Montevertine to this day is renowned as one of the most elegant, prestigious names coming from all of Italy. All the wines are labeled IGT Toscana, still.

Manetti died in 2000 and has passed the reins to his son Martino Manetti who runs the estate with Paolo Salvi Radda in Chianti.

The 2016 Le Pergole Torte is magnificent, just as it was last year. Rich, dense and explosive, with stunning depth and texture, the 2016 possesses off the charts intensity while remaining light on its feet for such rich a powerful, layered wine. There is almost no perception of tannin. Black cherry, plum, lavender, menthol, spice and new leather all meld together in a pliant, striking Pergole Torte endowed with tremendous pedigree and nuance. Put simply, the 2016 is off the charts great. The only reason the 2016 does not earn a perfect score is that cramped quarters in the cellar oblige Montevertine to bottle Pergole Torte in several lots.
