Klaus Reimizt has always aimed to make the best sangiovese.
He has worked with the sangiovese grape since the early 1980s.
Several trips to Burgundy have given him the key to making elegant single-varietal wines, which he has accomplished by creating fantastic sangiovese.
Klaus Reimitz came to Montevertine in 1981. The first vintage of Le Pergole Torte was presented in 1977, and from 1981 he worked for 28 years in the cellar with the master Gulio Gambelli and Sergio Manetti, where they together developed the wine into the great wine it became.
During his time at Montevertine, he married one of Sergio Manetti's daughters and has thus lived on the estate for many years.
Since 2010, he has been working on a 1 ha southeast-facing vineyard at 400 meters altitude in Badia a Passignano in the western Chianti Classico to create his ultimate sangiovese. A fantastic vineyard on galestro (schist).
The vineyard's name is Boronzky, named after Klaus Reimitz's great-grandmother Tamaro von Bronzky. The vines were planted in 1992.
The first vintage was 2011.
On the 1 ha beautiful vineyard, only 3,000 liters are now produced per year. 2 x 1,500-liter barrels, where the lovely sangiovese enjoys about 27 months.
The wine is found in only a few places in Europe.
