Tuscan winery based in Montevertine, in the municipality of Radda in Chianti (SI), known for Sangiovese-based red wines and for the historic 'Le Pergole Torte' label.
The estate is tied to the Manetti family: the property was purchased by Sergio Manetti in the second half of the 1960s and was gradually transformed from a country residence into a wine-producing estate. From the first plantings came wines made for family and friends; over time celebrated labels such as Le Pergole Torte were introduced. After Sergio’s passing, management continued with family members, who have maintained a focus on tradition and on Sangiovese.
