Le Pergole Torte is Montevertine's flagship wine and the first pure Sangiovese made in the Radda in Chianti area, produced since the 1977 vintage. A noble, deep ruby red; the nose opens on red fruit, fine spices, cocoa and coffee, over a mineral, graphite background. The palate is sophisticated and refined, with great structure, silky tannins and a very long finish.
Production method: 100% Sangiovese, yield of 40 hl/ha. Alcoholic fermentation in concrete tanks for about 25 days, with malolactic fermentation also in concrete. Aged for 12 months in barriques, 12 months in Slavonian oak casks and about 3 months in bottle.
Food pairings: Roast white and red meats, fine poultry, game and cheeses.
