Le Pergole Torte 1996 is a single-vineyard, 100% Sangiovese from Tuscany, crafted at the renowned Montevertine estate. This vintage is noted for its balance and age-worthiness, characteristics that emerged from a warm growing season. The wine showcases a deep garnet hue with evolving aromas of dried cherry, wild herbs and tobacco, alongside subtle hints of leather. On the palate, the structure is firm with integrated tannins and a refreshing acidity, delivering a savoury finish.

- The 1996 Le Pergole Torte, from a cold, late-ripening vintage, is powerful and explosive, with a compelling interplay of ripeness, sweetness and structure. Cherry jam, wild flowers, mint, sweet spices, menthol and licorice meld together in the glass, while lavender, rose petal, quinine and a host of aromatic notes come alive on the finish. Although striking today, the 1996 will drink well for another 10-15 years, perhaps longer. Today, it is truly special. In 1996, the harvest began on October 21, exceedingly late, even for Montevertine.
