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.

This wine beautifully captures the intensity and elegance of this classic vintage. The 2019 Montevertine is made with a careful selection of fruit (with 90% Sangiovese, 5% Canaiolo and 5% Colorino) from across various parcels located at a cool 400 to 550 meters in elevation. Compared to the Le Pergole Torte, which remains more closed and initially shy, the Montevertine currently soars over the senses with delicate berry and wild fruit aromas with mineral, blue flower and candied orange peel. The mouthfeel is extremely fine, but that smoothness leaves a lasting impression. Happily, there are 34,000 bottles on the market.

The 2019 Montevertine is absolutely gorgeous. Plush and silky, with terrific depth, the 2019 impresses with its exceptional balance. In most years, the tannins can be a bit fierce, but in 2019 they are surprisingly soft and caressing in relative terms. Once again, I am quite struck by the sheer richness in the 2019. Black cherry, plum, lavender, spice, tobacco and incense build in this decidedly potent Montevertine. This is an especially fine edition and a very serious wine. Impressive. In 2019, Montevertine will give Pergole Torte a run for its money.
