Montevertine, Pergole Torte, 2020 (6L)

Le Pergole Torte 2020 is the flagship wine of Montevertine, a revered estate in Radda in Chianti that famously left the Chianti Classico DOCG in the 1980s to pursue its own uncompromising vision of pure Sangiovese expression. The fruit comes from the estate’s oldest vines, and the wine is made with native fermentations, long maceration, and aging in a mix of Slavonian and French oak.

The 2020 vintage offers a beautifully poised balance of red cherry, rose petal, wild herbs, and orange peel, with a fine-grained tannic structure and bright acidity. While approachable in youth for its perfume and purity, it will gain depth, earthiness, and savory detail over the next 15–30 years, especially in 6L format, which slows the aging process and enhances longevity.

Bottled by hand and rarely seen in this format, the 6-liter (imperial) bottling is perfect for cellar collectors, milestone celebrations, or serious Sangiovese lovers looking for the ultimate expression.

Pair with porchetta, bistecca alla Fiorentina, or truffle risotto, or decant hours in advance for a meditative solo experience.
