A legendary winery that needs no introduction, Montevertine is a reality that perhaps more than any other in Tuscany is synonymous with Sangiovese and tradition. A winery that was born in the late 1960s in the heart of Chianti Classico, not far from Radda in Chianti, thanks to the intuition of Sergio Manetti, then a steel industrialist. The renovation of the house was followed by the first planting, two hectares of vineyard alongside a small cellar, and the idea of ??producing a little wine for friends. However, given the success of the first vintage produced, 1971, Sergio decided to abandon the business and dedicate himself entirely to the production of wine, supported in the cellar by the one who is considered the greatest and most expert of Sangiovese, the unforgettable Giulio Gambelli. The aim was immediately to produce a wine that bore witness to the history of a territory, with the desire to always improve, while remaining faithful to Sangiovese. The first years were of experimentation, but by the end of the 1970s the name Montevertine was appearing in all the specialized magazines as one of the best examples of Chianti Classico. The turning point came in 1977: Le Pergole Torte was born, the first pure Sangiovese ever produced in the area. The wine was paradoxically rejected by the Chianti Classico consortium, as it did not respect the production parameters and did not include the other grapes required by the regulations of the time, but it achieved great success with critics and enthusiasts. The labels designed by Alberto Manfredi make this legendary wine even more fascinating. Montevertine boasts 18 hectares of organically grown vineyards and is expertly managed by Martino, Sergio's son. In addition to the famous "Le Pergole Torte", the company produces the "Pian del Ciampolo" and the "Montevertine", both with the Toscana Rosso IGT denomination. Montevertine wines continue to excite drinkers around the world with their unique finesse and longevity.
