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.

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.

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.
