The international reputation of Montevertine`s Le Pergole Torte speaks for itself. 100% Sangiovese, the first vintage released was the 1977 and was the first 100% Sangiovese wine to be produced in the Radda in Chianti area. The grapes are carefully selected from Montevertine`s oldest vineyards, planted between 1968 and 1999. Aged for one year in Allier oak barriques and one year in Slavonian oak barrels. With its iconic artistic labelling by Alberto Manfredi, Le Pergole Torte is a truly legendary wine.

Vinous
Rich and powerful, but also wonderfully open, the 2003 Le Pergole Torte, as it is a resounding success in a year that presented huge challenges because of the scorching hot temperatures. It is also interesting to taste the 2003 next to the 2000 and 1997, two vintages that were also dry and hot, as the winemaking team was clearly in a better position to deal with the conditions than it was in either 1997 or 2000. I won’t be surprised if at some point, the 2003 evolves quickly, but today it is absolutely delicious. Two thousand three was the earliest harvest in the estate's history, says Martino Manetti. We had fifty days of uninterrupted heat and 12 days above 40C (104F). The grapes were so dehydrated we had to tighten the grills of the destemmer, otherwise all the grapes would have fallen through.Antonio Galloni1st January 2016
