"In 2019, Montevertine will give Pergole Torte a run for its money" -Antonio Galloni
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.
As Galloni's note above makes clear, 2019 is such a vintage.

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 2019 is an intense vintage. It works on a large scale with depth and lots of complexity. The Montevertine is profoundly impactful. It's no doubt these qualities that led Galloni to write: "This is an especially fine edition and a serious wine."
For all of the 2019's richness and power, it still delivers plenty of finesse. It has a luminous undercurrent of energy along with a beguiling set of aromatics.
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 incisive class and intricate composition. In vintages like 2019, Montevertine assumes jaw-dropping dimensions.
