2021 Podere Le Boncie Toscana Rosso Chiesamonti IGT Tuscany, Italy

Chiesamontiis 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 Giovannas 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 winebottled on its own for the first time in 2018provides 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.
