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
- WA96–98
- Tasted as a barrel sample, the 2015 Le Pergole Torte is a 100% expression of Sangiovese sourced from the estate`s oldest vines (between 30 and 50 years old). Like the other wines from Montevertine, Le Pergole Torte sees both its alcoholic and malolactic fermentations in cement, and the wine later ages in new oak barrels for 12 to 18 months depending on the vintage. After that first phase in barrique, it goes into large botte to complete its integration. This gorgeous vintage opens to a deep, dark appearance with a velvety presentation of dark fruit and black cherry flavors. The wine`s textural richness is ultimately what sets this fantastic vintage apart.
