"The 2012 Le Pergole Torte is brilliant."
2012 Montevertine Le Pergole Torte
"Le Pergole Torte isn’t a great Tuscan or Italian wine. It is simply one of the world’s elite wines." -Antonio Galloni
No wine takes Sangiovese to the level of nobility, elegance and ageworthiness the way Montevertine's Pergole Torte does.

When it comes to Sangiovese, Pergole Torte stands alone for how deeply complex and graceful it is. It's fairly subtle, but mind-blowing nonetheless.
The aging potential of Montevertine's Pergole Torte is legendary. There are fewer and fewer wines under the $100 price tag that can see their 20th or 30th birthdays. Pergole Torte is near the top of this sadly dwindling list. Picking up a 4-pack is a really smart move.
Montevertine is in Radda, one of the coolest, highest-altitude spots in Chianti Classico. Here, and in Montevertine's hands, Sangiovese reaches an unparalleled level of incisive elegance and beautifully haunting aromatics. Pergole Torte is the pinnacle of the line-up.
The 2012 is gorgeous with finesse and snap to spare. Antonio Galloni captures the wine well when he writes that it's "bright, focused and pulsing with energy." The 2012 is nuanced and understated with complex layers of dark fruits, earth, spice, smoke and much more.
Pergole Torte has that magical, life-affirming quality that only a few very special wines possess. The wine has become one of the pillars of Crush. Happy to offer.
