Le Pergole Torte is the defining wine of Montevertine and one of the most important expressions of Sangiovese in Italy. First bottled in 1977 as a 100% Sangiovese at a time when such an approach was radical, it helped establish a new, uncompromising vision for Tuscan wine—one rooted in place, restraint, and fidelity to the grape rather than appellation rules or international varieties. The wine is sourced from the estate’s highest vineyards in Radda in Chianti, planted on rocky galestro and alberese soils, and aged patiently in large Slavonian oak to preserve purity and longevity.
The 2009 vintage reflects a warm growing season, tempered by Montevertine’s altitude and measured winemaking. Aromas of cherry, raspberry, and plum are layered with notes of tobacco, leather, dried herbs, and subtle earth. On the palate, the wine is poised and deeply expressive, with finely resolved tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, resonant finish that continues to evolve with air. Now fully mature yet still vibrant, it shows the authority and harmony that define Le Pergole Torte at its best.
A Sangiovese of remarkable integrity and longevity, Le Pergole Torte 2009 is a profound expression of Radda and a touchstone for collectors of classic Tuscany.
Varietal: Sangiovese
Appellation: Tuscany, Italy
Farming: Sustainably farmed
