"This melts in your mouth" - Customer 

We did a little dance when we tasted this wine. It has everything: soft tannins, silky texture, complex flavor profile, and a finish with serious length. Words are going to be hard to describe this experience but let's try: Soft cherry fruit intermingles with terroir and dried herbs all while woven together with soft tannins, velvety texture and palate-cleansing acidity. This is one of the best wines we have tasted from Tuscany. Period. Highest Recommendation

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. A silky, high-toned wine with a blatant mineral underpinning and sumptuously fleshy fruit.

Blend: 95% Sangiovese, 5% Canaiolo

Giovanna Morganti is quickly becoming recognized as one of the best of the new generation of Tuscan winemakers. Her small estate is a mere three hectares and her only wine is called “Le Trame” (the intrigues) signifying the wheeling and dealing required to purchase the land. Giovanna’s father was a legendary oenologist who believed in Tuscan varietals long before the “flying consultants” identified this area as a profit center. Podere Le Boncie is situated in the hamlet of San Felice which itself is located a handful of minutes north of Castelnuovo Berardenga, in the southern tier of the Chianti Classico zone.
