"The 2019 Le Pergole Torte is all class and refinement."
Few wines are so nuanced and complicated that the more you taste them the more deeply you become obsessed with them.
For us, Pergole Torte is one of those wines. There's something about its class and incisiveness that we find endlessly fascinating.

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, Pergole Torte assumes jaw-dropping dimensions.
The aromatics really pop in the 2019 Pergole Torte. It's high-toned with floral notes, spice, herbs, smoky minerality, and dark fruit. All of this is delivered with refinement, grace, and impeccable harmony.
When it comes to Sangiovese, Pergole Torte stands alone for how deeply complex and elegant it is. As Antonio Galloni writes, "Le Pergole Torte isn’t a great Tuscan or Italian wine. It is simply one of the world’s elite wines." I'm very happy to offer this thrilling Pergole Torte.

Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media: "The 2019 Le Pergole Torte is all class and refinement. At the same time, the 2019 is quite reticent at this stage. In this tasting, the Pergole Torte comes across as more refined and aromatically expressive than the Montevertine, with lovely brightness driving the red berry fruit. Elegant and sophisticated, the 2019 is a wine to treasure for the next several decades. Time in the glass brings out the floral upper register and red Sangiovese fruit of Pergole Torte."
