Montevertine

“Le Pergole Torte” the top wine from Montevertine is both cellar worthy if you’re into that but also one of the easier drinking Tuscan reds. In contrast to the perception of Tuscan wines being big and boozy, this wine is elegant and refreshing.

Their focus is on Sangiovese, the grape of Chianti and Brunello. Based in the town of Radda, they have become the benchmark for a style of Chianti which is tart, savory, and essential with a big bowl of pasta.
