MONTEVERTINE

Red Wine

Montevertine, 'Rosso di Toscano' 2018

Place: Tuscany, Italy

Grape: Sangiovese + Canaiolo + Colorino

Style: Classic, richer

Sangiovese, Canaiolo and Colorino, picked at low yields, spending 24 months maturing in Slavonian oak. Intensity here is outstanding, this is essentially their Chianti Classico and exhibits the balance and drive one would expect from this estate. Wonderful, and an earlier drinker than usual. ABV: 14%

Please note that due to the limited quantity of this wine available it is not subject to further discount.

Regular price £93.00

Taxes included

Sergio Manetti is credited with producing the first ever ‘Super Tuscan’ – quite the flex. Between 1977 and 1981 the estate produced Chianti Classico, hoping to compete at the highest national and international level, but by 1981 Sergio was finding the DOC rules too restrictive – i.e., the rule whereby producers couldn’t use 100% Sangiovese, but were instead required to blend in white varieties. So he bid goodbye to the appellation and chose instead to produce under the Vino da Tavola classification. His son Martino carries on his father’s tradition today – 100% late-harvested Sangiovese, fermented in cement, matured in Slavonian barrels for 18 months then another 6 in Allier oak barriques. ‘Le Pergole Torte’ is, amusingly, nowadays considered one of the most traditional Tuscan wines. Just as well Sergio decided to rebel, ey.
