Love this producer but this bottle has more nail polish going on than previous vintages. Still drinkable though.

Yum, think a little time would be even better.

Delicious. Dry from the start. Tart. Want another immediately.

Sangiovese, mammolo, ciliegiolo, colorino, foglia tonda blend. Bright red cherry, violets, some gaminess, and pepper notes. Clean finish, reminiscent of a Morgon gamay.

awash with red berries, dark cherry, bergamot, tried thyme, orange cake and faint leather. Juicy and vibrant in the palate, with a soft tug from the cat tongue like tannin that lattices the lithe fruit profile. Top notch

This had a tartness that reminded me of cru Beaujolais

After a few days in Burgundy I was thirsty for Sangiovese, this was very well done

Giovanna Morganti: Podere Le Boncie. She's a fine and set apart winemaker in San Felice/Castelnuovo Berardenga. Her house is the cellar, her mystic garden the vineyard where she does home-grown her own sangiovese grapes and few others local vine variety (mammolo foglia-tonda colorino canaiolo) allowed in the Chianti Classico Appellation, with such a filial piety and discipline as they were kids in a kindergarden. "Le Trame" is the name of her A rated eldest child, a magnificent utterance of Tuscany through the wine. Here's instead, her declassified sangiovese under the IGT umbrella (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) called simply, 5 - with a touch of self-irony - which in terms of grades at the School would be C or D. I do adore this "slacker" and strapping "5" for the harshness sour inborn at the wine, a spontaneous expression of a very acidic and stoney soil too!
