Montevertine

Agretto di Montevertine is made from Sangiovese grapes from the vineyards of Montevertine. It is a traditional wine vinegar that matures in small batches at the Acetaia Castelli in Rio Saliceto, around 20 kilometres north-west of Modena. It has a typical red wine vinegar profile, sweet and sour notes and the acidity is always present despite the balsamic character. SUPERIORE.DE

Pian del Ciampolo is a graceful and very aromatic Sangiovese with small parts of Canaiolo and Colorino - very much in the style of Montevertine. On the nose, it has a powerful personality with lots of tart cherry, raspberry and wild plum, followed by a beautiful herbal spiciness in the drink. Its elegant structure and the wonderful interplay of acidity and tannin ensure a beguiling drinking flow and a terrific length. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2021 Pian del Ciampolo is silky, elegant and graceful, making it a good choice to drink now and over the next 10-15 years. Despite the warm vintage, the 2021 shows the finesse and elegance of the Radda in abundance. Time in the glass brings out the wine's natural richness. The 2021 will be very tempting if drunk early, but it has what it takes to age." Vinous

"The 2021 Pian del Ciampolo is a wine of energy, tension and tightrope balance. It hits a wonderful intersection between ease of drinking and complexity. This vintage is especially chiseled and fine." Wine Advocate

"The Pian del Ciampolo 2022 is soft, juicy and ready to go. The harvestwill find a lot of immediacy in this red wine made from Sangiovese. Crushed red berry fruit, mint, spice, rose petals and earthy notes are pushed forward nicely. The 2022 is a fine Pian del Ciampolo." Vinous

"The Montevertine 2022 Pian del Ciampolo is initially shy and requires extra time to open. You get wild berry notes, redcurrant, peat moss and tin can. It is texturally smooth with silky tannins." Wine Advocate

Montevertine speaks fluently the authentic Tuscan language of purity and subtle austerity and at the same time is a reference for the generosity and freshness that are so typical of Sangiovese in Radda. On the nose, lots of dark red fruits, some lavender, leather, sweet pipe tobacco, liquorice and earthy notes that develop beautifully with further aeration, offering a taste of what awaits those who can wait. Complex, multi-dimensional with floral notes as it progresses, opening up further and further, with a long finish. A stunning wine that is hardly inferior to the flagship Le Pergole Torte.

"The 2021 Montevertine is a big, potent wine. Dark, rich and explosive, the 2021 has enormous depth, perhaps too much. You have to be patient. The inclusion of new vineyards in the Docciole sector has changed Montevertine; it is now a darker, more virile wine from mostly younger vines, relatively speaking. In the bottle, I find it stylistically somewhat different from the house style." Vinous

"The 2021 Montevertine reveals a very tight textural approach with pinpoint aromas of blue currant, iris root and red rose. The wine takes a moment or two to open, but it does succeed in showing its full bouquet in little time. Montevertine remains elegantly tight and streamlined in terms of mouthfeel." Wine Advocate

Aqua Vitae is the result of the collaboration between Distilleria Artigiana di Gioacchino Nannoni, which directly takes care of the entire process of distillation, maturation and bottling, and Azienda Agricola di Montevertine, which supplies the Sangiovese marc from the vineyard "Le Pergole Torte". After steam distillation, the wine is matured for about four years in oak Caratelli casks. Amber in the glass, soft, warm, intense and gently enveloping on the nose and palate - stylistically it is more like an Armagnac than a grappa. SUPERIORE.DE

One of the best single-varietal Sangiovese from vines that are over 60 years old in some cases. The labels change every year and were created by the artist Amberto Manfredi. Brilliant ruby colour with a fine garnet sheen. Violets, raspberries and a hint of cinnamon on the nose, this red spoils the palate with opulent fruit and typical acidity. An intense, warm wine that is never fat or filling, but reveals a new subtle and almost silky facet of its strong personality with every sip. A great wine with great cult and ageing potential that is highly prized around the world. SUPERIORE.DE

"Beautifully saturated and rich in terms of complexity (but not in extraction), the Montevertine 2021 Le Pergole Torte remains focused and elegantly streamlined with a very bright-red cherry element that defines this classic vintage. There are tart fruit flavors to close, followed by firm but silky tannins. A hint of the skins also comes through on the bouquet and adds a little more weight and substance. This wine finishes with polished slate-like mineral nuances." Wine Advocate

"The 2021 Le Pergole Torte is dense, powerful and explosive, with enormous fruit and amazing balance. You will find a heady, dense Pergole Torte that will need many more years to be at its best. Dark red/purple fruits, lavender, rose petals, mint and blood orange give it enormous depth. The intensity of the 2021 is astounding. It is an exotic, exciting wine." Vinous
