Produced from the oldest Sangiovese vines at the Montevertine estate in Radda in Chianti, Le Pergole Torte 2006 stands as an exemplar of this celebrated vineyard. The wine undergoes fermentation in cement vats, followed by maturation in a mix of Slavonian and Allier oak barrels. With an alcohol content of 14%, the 2006 vintage showcases a unique concentration, a hallmark of one of the decade`s leading years. Tasting notes reveal characters of sour cherries, blood orange, and iron, complemented by a structured tannin profile. This release exemplifies a commitment to non-DOCG Sangiovese, emphasising elegance, clarity, and mineral nuance.

Montevertine’s 2006 Pergole Torte is also 100% Sangiovese, but it emerges from vineyards in Radda in Chianti. The late Sergio Manetti created Pergole Torte at a time when the Chianti Classico regulations dictated that white grapes be part of the blend in Chianti Classico. Manetti created Pergole Torte as one of the first 100% Sangioveses, a wine that at the time had to be declassified to Vino da Tavola, the lowest designation, but it did not formally comply with the regulations of any appellation. Of course, a bevy of pure Sangioveses followed, but Pergole Torte was among the first. It remains one of the great wines of Italy. On this night, the 2006 Pergole Torte is shockingly powerful, dense and structured, with big tannins that give the wine energy and vibrancy. Readers should be in no hurry to open bottles. What a wine!Antonio Galloni1st December 2018
