Black cherry black truffle and bark. Fresh earth and pine cone. It?s medium-bodied with extremely integrated tannins that are so vivid and so pure like essence of Sangiovese. Strength with balance. Best in three to four years. 08/24

The 2021 Le Pergole Torte is a real stunner. Rich deep and beautifully layered in the glass the 2021 is captivating from the very first taste. In bottle this is quite a bit more reticent than it was as a barrel sample which in my view is a positive. Even so readers should be prepared to cellar the 2021 for a number of years at a minimum. - By Antonio Galloni on June 2024 Martino Manetti presented some of the most intriguing 2021s and 2022s I tasted for this report. At this stage the 2022s come across as more typical for the estate than the 2021s which are decidedly potent wines. ?We had more rain and more even maturation in 2021 than we did in 2022 where ripening took place later. In 2022 the warm dry season delayed ripening. Harvest started on October 5 which is late by today?s standards? Martino Manetti commented. ?The challenge in 2021 was in taming the huge tannins? added Paolo Salvi the estate?s longtime consulting oenologist.

Beautifully saturated and rich in terms of complexity (but not in extraction) the Montevertine 2021 Le Pergole Torte remains focused and elegantly streamlined with a very bright-red cherry element that defines this classic vintage. There are tart fruit flavors to close followed by firm but silky tannins. A hint of the skins also comes through on the bouquet and adds a little more weight and substance. This wine (which is worked in cement vats oak cask and Allier barrique) finishes with polished slate-like mineral nuances. This is a 29000-bottle release. Martino Manetti and his team have recently leased an additional hectare of Sangiovese vines in a lost little corner of Tuscany called Docciole. The wines are all organic. Published: Jul 25 2024
