Two bottles of Montevertine Le Pergole Torte — 2018 and 2019 — one of Italy’s most iconic and collectible wines, the first 100% Sangiovese ever produced in Radda in Chianti, born from an act of principle. When Sergio Manetti refused to add Trebbiano to his blend as required by Chianti Classico rules, he left the consortium and proved that one grape, farmed with passion, could represent a place more honestly than any compromise. Grapes come exclusively from Montevertine’s oldest Sangiovese vines planted between 1968 and 1999, fermented in concrete vats for 25 days, then aged one year in 50-hectolitre Slavonian oak barrels followed by six months in used French oak. The 2018, rated 95/100, delivers dark cherry, dried flowers, cigar box and earthy depth — “vivid and energetic with crystalline purity and impressive depth and length.” The 2019, rated 96/100 aggregato and 97/100 Wine Advocate, is described as “one of the finest recent Pergole Torte — pure Sangiovese of exceptional balance, combining the structure of a great vintage with silky texture and extraordinary freshness. Dark cherry, lavender, sage and graphite with a beautifully long, savory finish.” Best from 2026–2040. Both bottles in perfect condition — intact labels and capsules, top fill level. Stored in a professional temperature-controlled cellar.
