One of the most saught after ‘Super Tuscan’ wines on the market and for good reason! Though this wine is unlike most famous Super Tuscans in that this wine is 100% Sangiovese from the village of Radda. When the Chianti appellation was established there was a requirement that the wines must be blended with a portion of Trebbiano. Because the Manetti family knew the strength of their wines without this component, they refused to classify their wines as Chianti. Once that required was removed from Chianti, the ‘Pergole Torte’ wine was so well established they decided to keep the wine as ‘Rosso di Toscana’. Today under the care of the second generation of Manetti’s, the winemaking and farming has remained consistent; no chemicals in the vineyard, no stainless steel, native yeasts, and very little sulfur in the cellar. The wine ferments in cement vats, then spends a year in used french barrels, followed by another year in large Slavonian casks, bottled unfined and unfiltered. Dark fruits, herbs and graphite. Rich, layered and powerful! Wait as long as you can muster to drink this wine; the long maceration means powerful tannins and structure in its youth that will lead to a long, beautiful evolution over time.
