Montevertine | Toskana

Montevertine 2008 in seinem klassisch dezenten Stil mit  dem Duft von roten Süßkirschen, Blumen und Gewürzen zeigt eine wunderschöne Balance und Geschmeidigkeit. (superiore.de)

"This elegant, supple red is bursting with raspberry and floral aromas and flavors. Though delicate, there's no shortage of structure and Sangiovese's infamous tannins. Well put together." Wine Spectator

"A very jammy and juicy red, with dried dark fruits and plum sauce. Full and velvety. A little overdone in some ways, but I like its vibrancy very much." Wine Spectator

Montevertine in der 2009er Ausgabe präsentiert sich zunächst mit leicht würziger Lorbeernote, dann einladend nach Kirschen, feinen Beeren und Blüten. Am Gaumen geradlinig und klar, entfaltet sich mit feinkörnigem, griffigem Tannin, einer ansprechenden Säure, überaus saftig und mit druckvollem Finale. (superiore.de)

"The 2009 is a highly attractive, pointed Montevertine that oozes class and elegance. Clean, saline notes inform the beautifully pointed, delineated finish." Robert Parker

Montevertine in der 2006er Ausgabe präsentiert sich zunächst mit leicht würziger Lorbeernote, dann einladend nach Kirschen, feinen Beeren und Blüten. Am Gaumen geradlinig und klar, entfaltet sich mit feinkörnigem, griffigem Tannin, einer ansprechenden Säure, überaus saftig und mit druckvollem Finale. (superiore.de)

"Blackberry and minerals with hints of toasted oak on the nose. Full body, with silky tannins and a fruity finish. Solid and tight right now." James Suckling

"The 2008 Le Pergole Torte (Sangiovese) is more expressive in its bouquet than the Montevertine, but lacks some of that wine’s body. Hard candy, sweet red berries, flowers and spices are some of the notes that emerge from this unusually open, accessible Pergole Torte. Today, the 2008 doesn’t appear to be one of the legendary vintages of Pergole Torte, but in exchange the wine will offer very fine drinking upon release." Robert Parker

Der Inbegriff des toskanischen Sangiovese: "Einfach perfekt! Anders lässt sich der Auftritt des Paradeweins dieser Kellerei nicht beschreiben. ... eindringlich und voll, zugleich aber betörend lieblich, versehen mit eben jener Säure, die die Montervertino-Weine üblicherweise auszeichnet. Trockenblumen bilden den schmuckvollen Rahmen für den langen, intensiven Abgang ..." Gambero Rosso

"The 2009 Le Pergole Torte is flat-out great. Layers of fruit wrap around the palate in this flashy, seductive Pergole Torte. There are no hard edges to be found. Sweet red cherries, roses, spices and mint are layered into the silky, radiant finish. The 2009 is a wine of extraordinary elegance. Today the 2009 comes across as a smaller scaled version of the 2007. This is also the first year of biological farming at Montevertine." Robert Parker
