Tasting Notes

The estate was founded by the late Sergio Manetti in the 1960s. Sergio's son, Martino, runs the winery now, but it was Sergio who created a cult following for the flagship Montevertine and for the single-vineyard Le Pergole Torte. The estate is located in the hilltop town of Radda in the heart of Chianti Classico, but Sergio famously rejected the ill-conceived DOC regulations of the day. He chose instead to label his wines with the lowly "Vino da Tavola" designation. Sergio championed Sangiovese and refused to include white grape varieties like Trebbiano in his blends. He also rejected the trend of adding international varietals, such as Cabernet Sauvignon.

Montevertine is the main wine, but there's also the highly collectible and more expensive Le Pergole Torte. Le Pergole Torte is only produced in the best vintages and can be scarce. The prices which Le Pergole Torte can fetch at auction make the "normale" Montevertine bottling a relative bargain, but all Montevertine wines have stunning aromatics and offer purity and balance over flash and muscle.
