Montevertine was one of the highlights of my visits this past summer. Martino Manetti is riding a string of very good to exceptional vintages. One recent development is the recent acquisition of 2.5 hectares of vineyards in Radda that replaces 2 hectares that were previously farmed under a lease that has now expired. As for the wines, well, they are positively thrilling. The 2017 growing season brought with it significant challenges. Frost on the lower hillsides, and therefore reduced yields in the field were compounded by grapes with very little juice for a net loss of 40% of the potential crop. Two thousandsixteen was a much more balanced and classic year. Harvest started on October 6, as opposed to September 25 in 2017 and produced some of the most viscerally thrilling, breathtaking wines I have ever tasted here, or anywhere, for that matter.

I was quite taken with the wines I tasted at Montevertine this year. The 2014 Montevertine and Le Pergole Torte have turned out beautifully. Harvest took place between October 8 and 19, which is very late even by the standards of this traditionally late-ripening sector in Chianti Classico. The 2015 Pian del Ciampolo is one of many overachieving wines in this vintage, while the 2015 and 2016 Montevertine and Pergole Torte are wines that captivate all the senses with their sheer beauty and promise for the future.
