Montevertine, Sangiovese "Le Pergole Torte" Tuscany, Italy 2018 Magnum 1.5L

A pure expression of Sangiovese, the Montevertine 2018 Le Pergole Torte works hard in this vintage to preserve its most elegant and timeless style. There is a point of ripeness and a hint of extra cherry concentration that gives this wine beautiful intensity and verticality.

The expressive bouquet incorporates mild touches of spice, earth, pressed rose and lavender bud. The tannins are shapely and fine, but they reveal tight youthfulness that will soften with more time in the bottle. Silky, supple tannins are a hallmark of Le Pergole Torte.

Made from carefully selected Sangiovese grapes, it is aged for about 12 months in Slavonian oak barrels and for about 12 months in Allier barriques.
