| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.9 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 49 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Papies on 5/9/2024 & rated 93 points: Milan Wine Event 3 - A 2014 vintage check up (Altrimenti, Milano): Maybe the best wine we rarely drink as if for some celestial reason we just never cross paths. And when we do it never fails us.
Much like before and even more in this challenging of vintage of 2014 this was a Beauty. Elegant, soft not overdone or pushed and sort of led with a soft hand to deliver the maximum of what this vintage and Mother Nature gave it. Dark fruit, well managed and assimilated oak and just a beautiful wine. Not sure on longevity here and further evolution but happy to take the bet, very pretty 93+ (309 views) | | | Tasted by tropa56 on 3/31/2024 & rated 94 points: What a beautiful wine. First one I've ever had. Best wine of the Easter dinner by far. Drank between a 21 Lucien Le Moine Bourgogne Blanc and an 06 Pontet Canet.
Opened for 2hrs then decanted for another hour. Needed it for sure. Continued to open in the glass over the next hour.
Loads of beautiful earthy black cherry. Clearly Sangiovese at an extremely high level.
I will hold on to my other 2 bottles for at least 3 yrs , probably 5 , before I open another one. If you open one anytime soon definitely give it a lot of air as it was very thin, tight, and tannic when first opened.

Relatively on the lighter side, with less of the raw power of a bigger vintage, and more of an acid-driven elegance. I love the floral perfume here, but the tannins on the back end suggest that a few more years is probably the right course of action. (1507 views) | | | Tasted by Nanda on 2/8/2024 & rated 92 points: Still early on this one but it's a more elegant vintage and therefore approachable. Refined even with its weight and concentration. Upside from here. (1238 views) | | | Tasted by mattyboy_ on 11/19/2023 & rated 94 points: From mag. Ready to drink. This is a much lighter style of LPT given the vintage - decanted for 2hrs+ in 2x 750ml decanters and it needed it. Wow, this was bursting at the seams - the nose was to die for. Tuscany in a glass - intense violets, dried cherry, asphalt/scorched earth, wild rosemary. The palate is more light bodied for LPT but makes up for it with juicy and bright cherry flavors with extremely fine and supple tannins. This is a wine to enjoy in youth, would not recommend aging this as it's drinking so great right now. (1479 views) | | | Tasted by NoTrollingerPlease on 4/15/2023 & rated 93 points: Pergole Torte Vertical tasting (Freiheit Vinothek, Ulm, Germany): Glass: Zalto Universal and Burgundy
Tasted blind. Clear, youthful medium ruby color. Fine elegant nose with lots of cool red fruit, some petals, spicy. Beautiful.
On the palate high acidity, fine red fruit, rose petals, spices, high, fine tanning, a bit drying. Good pressure, elegant, pure, juicy and very young. Long, fine fruity and herbaceous finish. Needs 5+ years. 93++ (2565 views) | | | Tasted by Aravind Asok on 2/15/2023: Pop and pour. Paired with seared duck breast. Elegantly styled red fruit with loads of cherry, spice and muddled green notes. On the palate: well balanced acidity and fruit with amazing density and length. Flavors mirroring the nose and elegantly styled tannin. Excellent. (2140 views) | | | Tasted by jim_crane on 10/14/2022: Presents full bodied with an approachable fruit forward palate. Velvety tannins. Provoking conversation. Still, falls off quickly. Surprised it’s Sangiovese. Missing cherry. Not confused. Just outside of expectations. Geez, this reads like a mess. It’s a great wine. Drink up and enjoy it! (2557 views) | | | Tasted by lifeofpie on 6/2/2022 & rated 90 points: I might be too harsh but I expect a lot from this wine year after year. 2014 is not worth the money. It falls flat as far as this stunning producer goes. (2855 views) | | | Tasted by mye on 5/9/2022: surprisingly approachable. red cherries turning to strawberries. very tasty. (2988 views) | | | Tasted by KeithAkers on 5/6/2022 & rated 92 points: Good Times in Seattle vol.II (84 Yesler, Seattle WA): Despite its youth, the nose is expressive and elegant with notes of plums, red cherries, strawberries, crushed rocks, licorice, herbs, and violets. The vintage is almost certainly playing into how open it is and it doesn't have the depth that stronger vintages have. The Medium/full bodied feel is elegant and poised with crisp, medium+ acidity and chalky, medium+ tannins. This is a success due to the producer. It shows a more lifted and elegant style that is alluring, but it does lack some depth that better vintages would bring. (2321 views) | | | Tasted by Burgnick on 12/23/2021 & rated 92 points: Pnp from a magnum. Surprisingly accessible with cherry, cinnamon, rose petal and tar. Palate is silky and feminine. It has slowy opened up in the glass. A burgundian lover’s Italian wine. 92+ (3135 views) | | | Tasted by Morpheus Qiu on 8/24/2021 & rated 94 points: 瓶醒4小时。明亮、纯净的红色酒体。樱桃、花香和肉桂气息。酒体柔软、精致、细腻，平衡的酸度。非常简单易饮，适合配餐，引人入胜。有勃艮第风格的Sangiovese (3420 views) | | | Tasted by poppacork on 5/16/2021 & rated 91 points: Nice profile of cherry and cinnamon with good balance of acid and tannins. Light weight and good perfume, but rather simple. (3750 views) | | | Tasted by the godfather on 5/9/2021: Absolute fire, as good as Sangiovese gets (3827 views) | | | Tasted by Sovinator on 12/26/2020 & rated 96 points: Fantastic wine that was a real hit for a Christmas dinner. Soft and feminine style with Perfect balance of fruit and earth. Not a traditional Italian wine, almost has some Burgundy characteristics. (4597 views) | | | Tasted by mpoel on 12/24/2020: Nose of wild cherry, liquorice, flowers. Very fine and expressive. Lovely attack following the nose. This wine has such a nice acidity. Elegance over power. Long. Burgundy style. Loving it. (3773 views) | | | Tasted by Voodoo_Champagne on 12/14/2019: Decanted for two hours, worked well with food, not a big wine , more good Chianti, too expensive. Still have three 2013 and 2015, will leave them alone! (6384 views) | | | Tasted by Voodoo_Champagne on 11/16/2019: After having been very unsatisfied with Montevertine IGT, it was a relieve to taste Le Pergole Torte 2014 , which Galloni said had heavy bottle variation! Taken from the winefridge and standing vertical for 12 hours and decanted for 40 min. Color deep brick red, nose spicy and loaded with dark berries, taste delicious and with a good aftertaste with soft tannins. (5468 views) | | | Tasted by jwsmith on 9/6/2019 & rated 92 points: Elegant and smooth but is it really double the price better than the Normale !! (5316 views) | | | Tasted by Diane (LI) on 8/17/2019: Stunning aromatics. The palate shows dark cherries, herbs, soft tannins and a lingering finish. It kept getting stronger as it got more air. A vintage that can be enjoyed young. (4427 views) | | | Tasted by JOsgood on 7/20/2019 & rated 95 points: Super stuff. Wow nose. Velvet on the palate. Gorgeous fruit and balance. These wines are unreal. (4795 views) | | | Tasted by Nighthawk244 on 5/17/2019 & rated 94 points: This is a wonderful bottle. Agree with others that this will be better as time moves along. Also, opened this bottle with steak, easily held it's own. Two hours later, it just keeps evolving and coming together. I will definitely be adding several of these to the cellar. (3658 views) | | | Tasted by RGCM Gananda on 4/8/2019 & rated 94 points: Bright red cherry along with earth, leather and varied floral notes on the nose. Medium bodied with beautiful, nuanced red cherry notes upfront, blending into a mid-body which shows a lot of depth and brings in red berry, plum and black cherry. The mid-body is stellar with complexity of fruit, balance between fruit and structural notes and nearly seamless integration into the backside. Finishes with fine grained tannins, floral notes, integrated spices and lingering earth/mineral qualities. The longer it was open the more harmonious it seemed to become, but the fruit and structure were always in balance. With three hours open, this showed the combination of depth and nuance that allows the wine to drink with a silky elegance. As impressive as this wine was tonight, it will only get better in coming years. (Ristorante Ad Hoc; Rome, Italy) (3571 views) | | | Tasted by rlove on 2/24/2019 & rated 94 points: The 2014 Le Pergola Torte is sexy, suave, and excellent. Cherry, leather, cinnamon, and dried flower are lifted by just a hint of VA. Medium weight with soft elegant tannins and crisp acidity. Like a lot of the uneven 2014 Chianti vintage, I'd drink this in the medium term. (4064 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

| SangioveseSANGIOVESE: (Pronounced "sahn-joh-vhe-se").
Sangiovese - Italy's claim to fame, the pride of Tuscany. Traditionally made, the wines are full of cherry fruit, earth, and cedar. It produces Chianti (Classico), Rosso di Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montepulciano, Montefalco Rosso, and many others. Sangiovese is also the backbone in many of the acclaimed, modern-styled "Super-Tuscans", where it is blended with Bordeaux varietals (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc) and typically aged in French oak barrels, resulting a wine primed for the international market in the style of a typical California cabernet: oaky, high-alcohol, and a ripe, jammy, fruit-forward profile.[16]
Semi-classic grape grown in the Tuscany region of Italy. Used to produce the Chianti and other Tuscan red wines. Has many clonal versions, two of which seem to predominate. The Sangiovese Grosso clone Brunello variety is used for the dark red, traditionally powerful and slow-maturing "Brunello di Montalcino" wine. The other is the Sangiovese Piccolo, also known under the historical synonym name Sangioveto, used for standard Chianti Classico DOC wines. Old vine derived wine is often used in the better versions, needing several years ageing to reach peak. A third clone, Morellino, is used in a popular wine blend with the same name found in the southern part of the province. Recent efforts in California with clones of this variety are very promising, producing medium-bodied reds with rich cherry or plumlike flavors and aromas. Among the available clonal versions are R6 and R7, derived from the Montalcino region of Italy, having average productivity/ripening and producing small berries on medium size clusters. R10 and R24 are well-recommended. R23, listed as deriving from the Emilia-Romagna region, has good vigor with medium-small clusters with earlier ripening. R102 derives from the Montepulciano region and reported to have average vigor with moderate productivity that results in higher sugar levels and good acidity from medium-small berries on medium-small clusters. Has synonym name of Nielluccio where grown in Corsica.Italy Italian Wines (ItalianMade.com, The Italian Trade Commission) | Italian Wine Guide on the WineDoctorTuscany Tuscany (ItalianMade.com) | TuscanytToscana IGTHere is the Wikipedia entry for Toscana wine. |
