Montevertine Le Pergole Torte 1987 Toscana Tuscany 750ml/Btl 6/case

Description

Monica Larner: This was another difficult vintage with little
sunlight to push the plant evolution forward. In fact,
early-ripening varieties like Merlot did well, and Castello di Ama
produced a terrific bottle of its L'Apparita in this vintage. But
Sangiovese is another animal, and Sergio Manetti debated whether to
produce the 1987 Le Pergole Torte or not. The results are thin and
easy-drinking. The bouquet has some rough spots, with a dried
mushroom aroma that Martino Manetti says can emerge with longer
maceration times. The oak imprinting also feels strong here, as if
it never integrated into the wine's thinner context. Dry tannins,
some sharp acidity and a point of bitterness characterize the
mouthfeel.
