Montevertine

Montevertine is located in Radda, in the Chianti hills in Tuscany. The relatively young winery was started in 1967 when Sergio Manetti, a manufacturer of steel products, bought the property and planted five acres of grapes with the idea of producing wine for family and friends. But Manetti decided his first vintage in 1971 was good enough to take to a wine show. Encouraged by the wine’s popularity at the show, Manetti became a full-time winemaker. Over the decades his wines became known as premier Chiantis. Manetti died in 2000 but his son Martino Manetti now runs the family business. There are now nearly 45 acres of vineyards and about 75,000 bottles are produced annually. Grapes grown are Sangiovese, which make up 90% of the vineyards, as well as small amounts of Canaiolo and Colorino. Montevertine’s signature wine is the Pergole Torte, a 100% Sangiovese. Several other wines have small amounts of Canaiolo and Colorino.
