MONTEVERTINE LE PERGOLE TORTE 2015

Le Pergole Torte is synonymous with the artistic labels of Alberto Manfredi. While both founding winemakers Sergio Manetti and Manfredi have passed on, the 100% Sangiovese continues to be highly revered, and is now in the hands of Manetti’s son, Martino. The lush and showy 2015 vintage is more textural and intense than the austere 2014 vintage, and is rich in red cherry notes finished with a touch of savoury herbs. Its winemaking, vinified in concrete and aged in almost no new oak, results in a long-aged style suitable for the cellar. $202 from itwineclub.com
