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":"2023-01-04T17:39:04-05:00","created_at":"2023-01-03T13:07:11-05:00","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":249999,"price_min":249999,"price_max":249999,"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":42662244548746,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2001 | Montevertine | Le Pergole Torte (Magnum)","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":249999,"weight":19051,"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\/49_460b7483-6ba7-44bc-96f0-80184de1212b.png?v=1672769269"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/49_460b7483-6ba7-44bc-96f0-80184de1212b.png?v=1672769269","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2001 | Montevertine | Le Pergole Torte (Magnum) at CaskCartel.com","id":23901100834954,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.494,"height":1507,"width":745,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/49_460b7483-6ba7-44bc-96f0-80184de1212b.png?v=1672769269"},"aspect_ratio":0.494,"height":1507,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/49_460b7483-6ba7-44bc-96f0-80184de1212b.png?v=1672769269","width":745}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2001 | Montevertine | Le Pergole Torte (Magnum)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe color is a relatively light, a tenuous and twilight red, while the aromas are ethereal, recalling the East with delicate scents of spice and pansy along with a splendid note of black cherry in the background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTICE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Many other small liquor store sites may end up cancelling your order due to the high demand, unavailability or inaccurate inventory counts.  We have partnerships consisting of a large network of licensed retailers from within the United States, Europe and across the world ensuring orders are fulfilled.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Montevertine\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRatings: \u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003eWA\u003c\/span\u003e | 91  \u003cspan color=\"#ff2a00\" style=\"color: #ff2a00;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003eWC\u003c\/span\u003e | 95\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2001\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.5L\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Sangiovese\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\/Region:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Italy, Tuscany\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetailed Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe color is a relatively light, a tenuous and twilight red, while the aromas are ethereal, recalling the East with delicate scents of spice and pansy along with a splendid note of black cherry in the background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #222223;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #222223;\"\u003eReviews:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #9f250d;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #9f250d;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWine Advocate:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e This is the first vintage made entirely by Martino Manetti.
