Montevertine Le Pergole Torte 2022

$29999

Le Pergole Torte is a wine that needs little introduction. It is famous for its iconoclastic history, taking a stand for Sangiovese back when the Chianti police demanded blending with other varieties and some producers started experimenting with international grapes. It is famous for its labels, with a newly commissioned piece of art gracing the bottle each year. It is famous for its rarity and its longevity. But the most important characteristic of Le Pergole Torte is how profoundly delicious it is.

The "magic" of Pergole Torte actually has some very grounded building blocks. Radda, where they are located, is one of the highest elevation growing zones in Chianti, which leads to cooler nights. And the orginal Pergole Torte vineyard faces northeast, further mitigating higher temperatures. Add to this that the original vines are now over 50 years old and therefor better able to withstand hydric stress and . . . presto, magic!

"The 2022 Le Pergole Torte is every bit as magnificent as it was last year. Deep and expansive in the glass, with stunning depth, the 2022 stains the palate with layers of dark fruit, mocha, new leather and cedar. The 2022 starts to blossom with just a bit of time in the glass, leading to a finish that explodes on the back end. As has been the case for some time, the differences between Montevertine and Pergole Torte are increasingly mostly about style. The 2022 spent a year in Damy French oak barrels followed by a second year in cask. It will require a number of years to shed some baby fat to be at its most expressive." —Antonio Galloni

More about Montevertine

You probably already know about Montevertine. It has been one Tuscany's brightest stars for decades, on the forefront of every movement that has made the region what it is today. They stepped out of the consorzio because of their belief in Sangiovese, helping to create the Super-Tuscan movement. They have always sought to express their distinct Radda terroir, laying the foundation for today's growing interest in Chianti's varied crus (and especially in Radda!).
