Tasting notes
The 2001 Montevertine is all class and elegance. It offers beautiful delineation in its layers of black cherries, tar and minerals, with awesome purity and length of expression. It is clearly a more structured wine than the 2002 and will require a minimum of a few years of cellaring before offering its finest drinking.

About the producer
The legendary Montervertine estate was created by the Manetti family in 1967 and is best known for its iconic pure Sangiovese, Le Pergole Torte. Based in Chianti but with the wines labelled as IGT Toscana, these elegant wines are rightfully some of Tuscany and Italy’s most sought-after.
