| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.5 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 13 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by sdwineguru on 12/10/2023 & rated 92 points: Fine older Super Tuscan 1994 Azienda Agricola Montevertine Le Pergole Torte Toscana IGT ($40 at the winery in 1997). Light-mid ruby, amber edges, slight viscosity (13.0 alc.); red fruit, light herbaceous, old wood, rose petal nose; low-mid acids; mid tannins; good depth, structure; long, balanced red fruit and wood finish. w/osso buco. 17-17.5/92-93. (191 views) | | | Tasted by VDLT Wine on 6/25/2017: Hosting LI Blind 2017 edition (Jewel Restaurant Melville): Another very good if rustic bottle. Fine depth and perhaps a bit more fruit than previous bottles. A good match with the tuna, but maybe a bit too big. Glad I bit on these. (3151 views) | | | Tasted by VDLT Wine on 5/29/2016: 2016 Berserkerfest (Chez Jay Hack): Difficult tasting conditions, But this bottle was significantly more impressive than the one earlier this year. Cleaner, more fruit and more balance. I tried to revisit this but the hostess was so taken by that she was offering it to everyone. (3641 views) | | | Tasted by VDLT Wine on 1/30/2016: Saturday night with friends (Aperitif RVC): Cork slightly raised. The fruit remains strong, forward and youthful. Ample acidity but even more tannins that clamp down until sufficient aeration. Structure is formidable. In time, earth and more secondary flavors intermix. I am inclined to think this can improve but will the tannins ever recede? Nonetheless, this was at least very good. (3823 views) | | | Tasted by kevinacohn on 4/3/2015: I feared the worst when I removed the capsule and discovered a leaky cork, and even more when I stuck my nose in the decanter. Luckily, when we drank the wine three hours later the musty aroma was gone, replaced with layers of strawberries, fall leaves, red cherries, toffee, and mushrooms. Not the most profound vintage of this great wine, but it stood head and shoulders above all other bottles on this night, as it would on most nights. Don't hold much longer. Rated 2 on a scale of -1 to 3. (4231 views) | | | Tasted by french16 on 4/20/2011: Touch earthy with fresh ground coffee, brigth red cherry (almost maraschino). Same palate. Not crazy complex but enjoyable and sangiovese like. Slightly candied cherry on finish. (6392 views) | | | Tasted by bg2167 on 3/15/2011 & rated 91 points: Went really well with pizza and was drank alongside a 2004 Montevertine. Mentholated berry, earth, leather all together in a mature package of delicious Sangiovese. (4667 views) | | | Tasted by rjonwine@gmail.com on 9/11/2010 & rated 90 points: Slaton's 40th Pizza Making & Wine Bash (Ryan's pad, San Francisco, California): Deep berry, earthy, iodine nose; tasty, mature, tart berry, tart plum, tart black fruit, mineral palate; medium-plus finish 90+ pts. (2424 views) | | | Tasted by 5laton on 9/11/2010 flawed bottle: Likely mistreated based on condition of the cork. I thought this was shot, but some with more necrophiliac tendencies appeared to enjoy it. After tasting the leftovers the following day, the host pronounced it slightly corked as well. (4051 views) | | | Tasted by Frasson on 6/24/2010 & rated 92 points: Degustation by www.buonvini.ch; Zeughausstrasse 67, 8004 Zürich (Switzerland)
Vertical of Le Pergole Torte (3435 views) | | | Tasted by winenutnyc on 12/15/2006: popped and poured. this is drinking as well as it possibly can right now- classic tuscan nose of cherries, dried rosemary and some pine. The fruit on the palate has a wonderful sweetness to it- very elegant and light on its feet. terrific wine. (4159 views) |

| 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. |
