Il Duemilaventuno e cento punti!

Il Duemilaventuno di Sergio Manetti is 100% Sangiovese harvested from the estate’s oldest vineyards, that we know as Le Pergole Torte. Aged for two years in a single Slavonian oak cask.

Only 1,000 magnums of 2021 where bottled. Each magnum is individually numbered, packed & presented in a custom larchwood case, and accompanied by an original label print and a booklet that tells the story behind the wine.

Since its early days, founder Sergio Manetti believed in the outstanding potential of the local red variety, Sangiovese. As we have written before in these pages, he left the local consortium (Chianti) to pursue his steadfast convictions, at a time when there was no official designation for pure Sangiovese in the Chianti region.

Over time, his single-vineyard, 100% Sangiovese wine Le Pergole Torte became a must-have for Italian wine collectors worldwide. And while the labels may not bear the Chianti Classico designation, make no mistake, these wines are pure Tuscany at their core. That legacy lives on in every bottle of this tribute. The drinking window offered is 2025 – 2055. I will be ninety three years of age then, life’s obviously too short to drink bad wine!

With just 2 magnums available from us, this wine will not appear in the estate’s 2024 export list and is available exclusively by allocation. I was allocated only three magnums but have one for me, sorry! Here is a wee note from one of our sponsors:

”The 2021 Il Duemilaventuno di Sergio Manetti is a tiny production of just 1,000 magnums to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founder, Sergio Manetti’s, birth. It’s a wine that marries concentration, freshness and structure in a way I don’t remember seeing in any other wine I have tasted from Montevertine. Macerated dark cherry, plum, mocha, new leather, incense, cedar and dried flowers all soar from the glass. Aged for 2years in one cask”.  100/100pts (AG)
