1997 Montevertine Le Pergole Torte - Tuscany IGT - 1 Bottles (0.75L)

Montevertine Le Pergole Torte 1997
With Le Pergole Torte 1997 comes one of Italy’s most coveted cult wines up for auction. The traditional winery Montevertine in Radda in Chianti created with this single-varietal Sangiovese a wine that is regarded worldwide as a benchmark for elegance, authenticity, and longevity.
The 1997 vintage is among the most legendary and best-known in Tuscany. The extraordinary climatic conditions enabled the harvest of perfectly ripe grapes, which found remarkable concentration and harmony in this wine. After nearly three decades of maturation, Le Pergole Torte presents itself in a deep garnet red with brick-red reflections.
The bouquet is marked by great complexity: ripe black cherries, forest berries, violets, dried roses, tobacco, cedarwood, leather, and fine spice notes intertwine with hints of truffle, undergrowth, and balsamic nuances. On the palate the wine is powerful yet exceptionally elegant. The ripe fruit, the silky tannins, and the characteristic freshness of Sangiovese form an impressive balance. The long, multi-layered finish bears witness to the exceptional quality of this great vintage.
A rare opportunity to acquire a bottle from one of Tuscany’s most famous vintages. A wine for discerning collectors and lovers of great Italian classics.
