Le Pergole Torte 2009 is a full-bodied red wine produced from Sangiovese grapes at the Montevertine winery in Radda, Chianti. The wine is named after a small hill in the vineyards of Montevertine and features a label created by artist Alfredo Manfredi. 2009 was the first year of organic farming at Montevertine. "The 2009 Le Pergole Torte is flat-out great. Layers of fruit wrap around the palate in this flashy, seductive Pergole Torte. There are no hard edges to be found. Sweet red cherries, roses, spices and mint are layered into the silky, radiant finish... Le Pergole Torte isn’t a great Tuscan or Italian wine. It is simply one of the world’s elite wines." Wine Advocate, 2012

Vinous
The 2009 Le Pergole Torte is young, primary and fruit-driven. This is another wine that is hard to taste in this setting, as the flavors are so primary. Sweet red cherry, pomegranate and spices are all pushed forward. Succulent, layered and beautifully expressive, the 2009 is likely to open up sooner than most Pergole Tortes, although another few years will help the tannin soften. In some ways, the 2009 is a less plush and exotic version of the 2007. Next to the other warm vintages (2003, 2007 and 2011), the 2009 is lighter and more mid-weight in structure.Antonio Galloni1st January 2016
