Le Pergole Torte 2001 is a full-bodied red wine produced from Sangiovese grapes in the Chianti sub-region of Tuscany, central Italy. The international reputation of Montevertine`s Le Pergole Torte speaks for itself. The first vintage of this wine was released was the 1977 and was the first 100% Sangiovese to be produced in the Radda in Chianti area. The grapes are carefully selected from Montevertine`s oldest vineyards, which were planted between 1968 and 1999. The wine is aged for one year in Allier oak barriques and one year in Slavonian oak barrels. Adorned with its iconic labelling produced by artist Alberto Manfredi, Le Pergole Torte is a truly legendary wine.

One of the highlights in this tasting, the 2001 Le Pergole Torte is rich, powerful and explosive, with a real sense of energy. At fourteen years of age, the 2001 is incredibly primary. Stylistically, the 2001 recalls structured vintages such as the 1988 and 1999, but the 2001 has more inner sweetness and pliancy than those wines. Much of the wine`s personality can be attributed to a devastating frost in mid-April that took with it 30% of the production. The 2001 can be enjoyed today or cellared for up to another decade-plus. This is a fabulous showing.Antonio Galloni1st January 2016
