Montevertine
Montevertine - Le Pergole Torte 2018 cl150 Magnum
| Description | Monumental and iconic wine. Undisputed symbol in the world wine scene. A wine that has proven to be capable of incredible ageing potential, providing exciting drinking experiences even decades after the harvest. Produced for the first time in the 1977 vintage, it was the first pure Sangiovese vinified in our area of Radda in Chianti. The grapes come from historic vineyards, planted between 1968 and 1999. The 2018 harvest was a very Chianti-style harvest, in the most classic sense of the term. Hot summer but not too much, interval of bad weather at the end of August, sunny September with rain alternating with hot days. - harvest started on October 3 and ended on October 15, with several days of rain in between. The climate for the entire duration of the harvest was cool and this helped the grapes to arrive in the cellar in excellent condition. regular fermentations and malolactic concluded at the end of January. This resulted in very classic wines for the Chianti region, rich in acidity and flavour but at the same time very deep and balanced, certainly suitable for long-term storage. This 2018 vintage released in 2021 celebrates the centenary of the birth of the winery's founder, Sergio Manetti. |
