Montevertine’s estate, which is on Chianti hills in the town of Radda in Chianti, has been purchased by Sergio Manetti, a manufacturer of steel, in 1967. Sergio has initially purchased the estate to renovate it and make it his holiday home, planting some hectares of vineyard to produce wine for himself and his loved ones.
The first wine was produced and marketed in 1971 and received flattering praise. Enthused by the success, Sergio Manetti decided to devote himself exclusively to the production of quality wine, planting new vineyards and setting up new wineries.
The success achieved exceeded the most optimistic expectations. Today, the only drink a glass of Pergole Torte, any thousandth, leads us into a world of of Montevertine, the one of Sergio Manetti and his son Martino, of Giulio Gambelli and Bruno Bini, winemakers business.
In this wine, in fact, it is enclosed the pride of these men, their love for Tuscany and for their vineyards and the magic of a terroir of the most beautiful and important in the world. First with Sergio and now with his son Martino, the company has sealed the bond between Sangiovese and his place of choice, the Chianti, to become a bright and spotless interpreter guardian of this extraordinary variety.
"Era il 1967 quando Sergio Manetti acquistò Montevertine e piantò la prima vigna. Grazie alle sue intuizioni e all'ausilio prezioso di Giulio Gambelli ha dato inizio a una splendida storia, che ha visto una crescita costante di reputazione e vini affermatisi stabilmente nell'olimpo del panorama enologico internazionale"
