It traces its beginnings to back to 1967, when Sergio Manetti bought a vacation home in Chianti and planted two hectares (five acres) of vines with the intention of making some wine for friends and family. The first vintage in 1971 was such a success that Manetti took a few bottles to the Vinitaly wine show in Venice where the wine garnered such a positive reaction that Manetti made winemaking his new career. Montevertine is now known as a cult producer of high-quality, Sangiovese-dominant red wines from Tuscany. Montervertine was established within the boundaries of what became Chianti Classico and, initially, Manetti used the Chianti Classico designation for his wines. However, he soon became frustrated at the manditory inclusion of at least 10 percent of the white grape Trebbiano in the blend, and left the Chianti Classico Consortium in 1981. History sided with Manetti and, in 2006, Chianti Classico outlawed the use of white grapes. Despite the change, Montervertine still uses the broader IGT Toscana classification. As a result of this, Montevertine wines are often thought of as Super Tuscans, although none of the wines use any foreign grape varieties often associated with the category, like Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot. All Montevertine wines are Sangiovese-dominant, with small amounts of Colorino and Canaiolo – making them classic Chianti blends. The Montevertine vineyards are some of the highest in Chianti with an elevation of 425 meters (1395 feet) above sea level. Around 90 percent of the vineyards are planted to the Sangiovese grape, with the rest yielding Colorino and Canaiolo. Montevertine is best known for the wine Le Pergole Torte – a single-vineyard offering from the original two hectares planted by Manetti. It is 100 percent Sangiovese, aged for 12 months in Slavonian oak and 12 months in French barriques from Allier. Martino Manetti took over the winery in 2000 after the death of his father Sergio.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-01-04T17:39:44-05:00","created_at":"2023-01-03T13:19:49-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_Italy","NK0301","other_italian wine","Other_Wine","Producer_Montevertine","Region_Tuscany","Source_Bestofwines1222","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Sangiovese"],"price":79999,"price_min":79999,"price_max":79999,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42662258475146,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2013 | Montevertine | Le Pergole Torte","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":79999,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/52_52b37e95-e2b6-4a2d-806d-b2e2bb875508.png?v=1672770020"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/52_52b37e95-e2b6-4a2d-806d-b2e2bb875508.png?v=1672770020","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2013 | Montevertine | Le Pergole Torte at CaskCartel.com","id":23901136617610,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.428,"height":1531,"width":655,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/52_52b37e95-e2b6-4a2d-806d-b2e2bb875508.png?v=1672770020"},"aspect_ratio":0.428,"height":1531,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/52_52b37e95-e2b6-4a2d-806d-b2e2bb875508.png?v=1672770020","width":655}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2013 | Montevertine | Le Pergole Torte\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA floral and inebriating nose that simply enchants.
