Le Pergole Torte is the wine that started a revolution. When Montevertine walked away from the Chianti Classico appellation in 1981 rather than blend in the white grapes the rules then required, this 100% Sangiovese bottling from a single vineyard in Radda became one of the world’s most celebrated wines of terroir as a humble IGT, no less. Radda is Chianti’s highest-elevation village, and it gives wines of bright red-berry fruit and aromatic lift; Le Pergole Torte is its purest expression. The 2022 came from a hot, dry growing season, and altitude plus Montevertine’s refusal to over-extract kept it lifted and taut where lesser sites baked. It’s a baby right now: decant it if you must open one, or better, put it away for a decade. A benchmark Tuscan wine, full stop.
