Description
Montevertine is nestled in the heart of the Chinanti Hills, in the town of Radda in Chianti. There, only grape varieties native to the Chianti area – Sangiovese, Canaiolo and Colorino – are grown. At Montevertine, simplicity, respect, extreme care about details and know-how are the guiding principles that inspire their daily work. Their winemaking method is extremely traditional and has been the same since their very first harvests.
Made from carefully selected Sangiovese grapes, Le Pergole Torte is aged for about 12 months in Slavonian oak barrels and for about 12 months in Allier barriques. The first vintage released was the 1977. It was the first 100% Sangiovese wine to be produced in the Radda in Chianti area. The grapes come from Montevertine’s oldest vineyards, planted between 1968 and 1999. It is aged for one year in Allier barriques and one year in Slavonian oak barrels.
