Description
Le Pergole Torte 1997Montevertine
lbsl
Magnum (1)
Xavier and Carolyn Valero built their collection bottle by bottle, purchasing directly from the California producers they most admired. Professionally stored in a climate-controlled facility, the wines have been impeccably preserved. This inaugural release showcases the Valeros’ passion for authenticity and excellence in California Cabernet.
"Class in a glass. Dark ruby color. Aromas of blackberries, mineral, grilled meat follow through to a full-bodied, very tight tannin structure, with a chewy finish." (93 pts. James Suckling, Wine Spectator, July 2000)
“This is the last finished vintage of Le Pergole Torte seen by Sergio Manetti. Martino's father would die three years later in 2000. The 1997 Le Pergole Torte is an impressive wine that shows a tight and slightly nervous personality. The wine opens very slowly and with timid footsteps to eventually reveal a full and generous disposition. Of course, the popular winemaking style back in 1997 saw wines with big extract and lots of oak. Many of these expressions appear tired and oxidized today. That's why an intact and linear wine like this is such a special treat.” (92 pts. Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, March 2018)
