Le Pergole Torte 50 Montevertine 2013 0.75 lt.

Only Sergio Manetti could create Le Pergole Torte, because he was a unique, extraordinary, charismatic man, capable of transforming emotions into wine. In 1967 Manetti, then a steel industrialist, purchased the farm as a holiday home. The first wine produced was a 1971 Chianti Classico. Then, with the help and advice of his lifelong friend Giulio Gambelli, the following year he started planting a one and a half hectare Sangiovese vineyard. The name given to the plot was "Le Pergole Torte" and the production went on the market for the first time with the 1977 harvest as a table wine, because it was outside the Chianti Classico specifications.
Le Pergole Torte 50 anni 2013 climbs the scale of complexity, also in the depth and finesse that the old vines certainly give, taking time to acquire security and harmony. Il frutto di ciliegia torna ad essere al centro dell’attenzione, seguito da rabarbaro, è terroso e floreale nei toni della rosa. The sip appears austere with firm tannins, juicy due to the continuously rising freshness, sinuous and agile, confirming the full desire to express wines with character and which continually invite you to taste, never tired and increasingly intrigued.
Award-winning Tuscan red, both from Gambero Rosso and Duemila Vini, Le Pergole Torte 50 Montevertine 2013 excels in pairing with traditional regional first courses as well as meat-based second courses.
