Podere Le Boncie Chiesamonti Rosso Toscana

| Description: | Practicing Organic Farming. Vinous Media 95 Points - "The 2021 Chiesamonti is a potent, full-bodied wine that is going to need time to unwind. Herbs, wildflowers, spice, leather and menthol build in this backward, potent red from Le Boncie. Theres plenty of stuffing and textural intensity in this deep, resonant wine. I can't wait to see how it ages. " - Antonio Galloni. "Chiesamonti" is a 1.3-hectare parcel adjacent to the town of San Felice in Castelnuovo Berardenga, with a stonier soil profile and a lower clay content than Giovanna's home turf. The vines, now over a decade old, used to be blended into "Cinque" in their younger years, but she now feels they are ready for prime time, and this wine-bottled on its own for the first time in 2018-provides a fascinating counterpoint to "Le Trame": silkier, higher-toned, and overall prettier, with a more blatant mineral underpinning and less sumptuously fleshy fruit. It spends two years in Stockinger barrels, just like its sister wine, and it comprises nearly entirely Sangiovese, with just a touch of Canaiolo. Spontaneous fermentations, minimal sulfites, unfiltered & unfined |
