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
- JS93
- Blackberry and minerals with hints of toasted oak on the nose. Full body, with silky tannins and a fruity finish. Solid and tight right now.
- WA92
- The 2008 Le Pergole Torte (Sangiovese) is more expressive in its bouquet than the Montevertine, but lacks some of that wine's body. Hard candy, sweet red berries, flowers and spices are some of the notes that emerge from this unusually open, accessible Pergole Torte. Today, the 2008 doesn't appear to be one of the legendary vintages of Pergole Torte, but in exchange the wine will offer very fine drinking upon release. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2028.
