MONTEVERTINE

The Montevertine estate, acquired in 1967 by Sergio as a holiday home, is today one of the most valued firms of Chianti. The vinette production has been fundamentally enough on utilizing the Sangiovese, like the intention of valueing the vinette quality to the maximum. Today, there are approximately 10 hectors of vines in production; these get hand picked, using only organic fertilizer, with eventual intergration of mineral salts, and if necessary, after the land analysis and for the defense of the vine, the traditional poltiglia bordolese.

Le Pergole Torte was the first single vineyard Super-Tuscan to be made from 100% Sangiovese. Owner Sergio Manetti was thoroughly displeased with the on-going addition of “vitigni migliorativi”, or complementary grapes (e.g Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, etc.) to Sangiovese in an attempt to produce a more "international" wine with broader appeal. Manetti believed this implied that stand-alone Sangiovese wasn't good enough for top cuvees. Declaring Sangiovese second to none, he vowed never, ever to use other grapes in his red wines. So, he produced his last Chianti Classico in 1981 and became a Sangiovese purist with his first release of Le Pergole Torte. Sadly, Sergio passed away several years ago. His legend, however, lives on in his wines.
