The Winery
Monte Vertine
At Montevertine, simplicity, respect, extreme care about details, and know-how are the guiding principles that inspire their daily work. Their winemaking method is extremely traditional and always the same, since their very first harvests. The hand-picked grapes are fermented in vitrified concrete vats, without temperature control, and by performing two pumping-over operations per day to keep the cap of skins moist for a gentler extraction of tannins from the skins.
Tasting Notes
- WA96
- The 2009 Le Pergole Torte is flat-out great. Layers of fruit wrap around the palate in this flashy, seductive Pergole Torte. There are no hard edges to be found. Sweet red cherries, roses, spices and mint are layered into the silky, radiant finish. The 2009 is a wine of extraordinary elegance. Today the 2009 comes across as a smaller scaled version of the 2007. This is also the first year of biological farming at Montevertine. Despite the heat wave in August, Martino Manetti waited until October 12 to bring the Sangiovese in.
