While Le Pergole Torte is the pinnacle of the estate, the Rosso di Toscano represents incredible value. It's one of the smartest buys that we know, and there are vintages where the gap between Pergole Torte and the Montevertine bottling narrows considerably.
In any vintage, the Rosso di Toscano stands out with its elegance and refinement. There's an effortless, heartfelt, and graceful quality to the wine that always amazes us. When you combine this with the wine's nuanced complexity, you get a clear picture of why we consider Montevertine's Rosso di Toscano an essential part of our Italian program and why it's a fixture in our cellars.
The 2020 vintage is a deep and powerful one. The 2020 Montevertine dazzles with how it combines ripeness and concentration with drive, purity, and lift. As always, it offers up a beguiling set of aromatics with incredibly expressive notes of red fruits, herbs, spice, and floral notes.
Montevertine is in Radda, one of the coolest, highest-altitude spots in the Chianti Classico zone. It is here, and in Montevertine's hands, that Sangiovese reaches an unparalleled level of nobility. This is especially true in bigger vintages, like 2020, where the wine is able to meld together grace and intensity to amazing effect.
