The 2006 Le Pergole Torte is deeply coloured and aromatic, offering a rich profile of black cherry, cranberry, violets, pressed herbs (oregano, myrtle) and subtle smoke—all layered with notes of licorice and undergrowth.  On the palate it combines ripe dark fruit with fine‑grain tannins and bright acidity, giving it both power and tension; minerality of crushed stone and slate provides backbone and drive.  Mid‑palate nuance brings cedar, dusky tobacco leaf and a whisper of earthy truffle, while the finish is refined, persistent and structured for the long haul.  Though already exhibiting charm and complexity, this is built to age—even a three‑litre format enhances its potential for cellaring. Decanting is recommended for best enjoyment now; full evolution will reward patience through the 2030s and beyond.

Montevertine is a landmark estate in the Radda in Chianti zone of Tuscany, founded by Sergio Manetti and now operated by his family.  With a focus almost exclusively on Sangiovese from high‑altitude vineyards on galestro and sandstone soils, the estate is committed to purity and vineyard expression over volume or fashion.  Montevertine left the Chianti Classico consortium decades ago in order to vinify purely Sangiovese wines under the IGT Toscana designation—beginning a legacy of singular, collectors’‑level wines.  The estate’s philosophy emphasises minimal intervention, low yields, old vines and elegant structure, making Le Pergole Torte one of Italy’s most revered wines.
