 Sensational "La Porta di Vertine" ended its short history in 2016. They could produce only 9 vintages but that was good enough to give big impact to scene of Chianti Classico and played a role in natural wine movement.
Those vineyards had been sold to new owner and they will release new wines soon. Recently we were contacted by that new owner and they asked us if we wish to take heritage stock of La Porta di Vertine. Immediately we grabbed those stock as much as possible. 2006 - 2016 ver.1.0
La Porta di Vertine has ended its short but brilliant history of ver.1.0. Their first vintage was 2006, and we are not sure for the last vintage. The last delivery was 2014 vintage(Rosato). The winery activities had already suspended in autumn 2015, and we received official announcement of closing in spring 2016 finally. This Gambelli inspired Sangiovese winery splendidly impressed natural wine drinkers and producers in these ten years.The last message from La Porta di Vertine"A big hug and a heartfelt thank you to all of our customers, collaborators, friends and all of those who have followed, supported, inspired, criticized and loved us, those who believed in us and helped contribute to the success of La Porta di Vertine.
Thank you to Vertine and Adine. Thank you to the vineyards, the stones, the sun, the rain, the wind, the yeast, the insects, the microorganisms and the mycorrhiza…. and to Ruggero who helped us get along with all of it! Thank you most importantly to Ellen and Dan who made this possible. It went how it went, La Porta di Vertine, as we conceived it, lived it and loved it is closed!!! Now it waits for someone else to reopen it with new ideas and new enthusiasm, we wish the best of luck to them! We did our best and we are very proud of our efforts."
 Best regards from the whole team,
最高品質サンジョヴェーゼの純粋かつ強烈な風味！いままでのキャンティは全部忘れてください、これは別物です。化学薬品や農薬をまったく用いないで育てられたサンジョヴェーゼを手で摘み、醸造過程では酵母や硫黄その他一切の人工物を排し、「葡萄が自分でワインになっていくのを見ているだけ」というジャコモ・マストレッタのワイン造り。
２００９年のキャンティ・クラシコは素晴らしい凝縮感、濃厚かつ陽気、開放的な味わいで、サンジョヴェーゼの甘みが前面に出ています。脳を直撃するような芯の強いアロマはキャンティ・クラシコというより ポッジオ・ディ・ソットや ソルデラなどのトップクラスの生産者のブルネッロ・ディ・モンタルチーノに近い感じです。
初めて飲んだときにはレオン・バラルの２００１年トラディションを思い出しました。太陽と大地の味がこれでもかというくらいに葡萄に凝縮されたあの感覚、こんなに濃厚で力強いのに透明感があって優しい味わい、とても似ていると思いました。
本２００９年はリリースされたばかりですが今からすぐに楽しめます。もちろん数年寝かせることもできます。弊社でも少量ですがエイジング用にまわしました。（葡萄品種：サンジョヴェーゼがほとんどと、数％のカナイオーロとコロリーノ。年間生産量１２０００本）
這是在La Porta di Vertine中奇妙的一款酒 。酒莊的地窖採用自然不干預的方針和天然酵母， 無硫加工和無人工溫度控制。這些特點每年也帶給葡萄酒不同的可變性，亦帶給客人不同的驚喜。但無可否認，這古典基安蒂葡萄酒在他們的最佳狀態下，都是引人注目的，在其他高度個性化的古典基安蒂葡萄酒中脫穎而。 （由eRobertParker）
