‘Le Pergole Torte’ is the flagship wine produced by the Montevertine winery, located in the heart of the Chianti Classico region. Made from carefully selected Sangiovese grapes, the wine is aged for approximately 12 months in Slavonian oak barrels and another 12 months in Allier oak barriques. The 1987 vintage in Tuscany was generally modest, but nonetheless, some noteworthy wines were crafted.

A double magnum of the 1987 Le Pergole Torte is fabulous considering the challenges of the vintage. Wild, feral and gamy, the 1987 is more a wine of power rather that finesse, but there is something about its energy that is impossible to resist. Cedar, tobacco, dried herbs and dried fruit are some of the signatures. This is another terrific wine from a challenging vintage. Here too, the double magnum format has helped preserve the wine as well as could be expected. Martino Manetti describes the 1987 as a wine of darkness because the summer was overcast and rainy. The decision to bottle Le Pergole Torte was taken at the last minute.Antonio Galloni1st January 2016
