About Podere Le Boncie
Podere Le Boncie, situated in the hamlet of San Felice outside Castelnuovo Berardenga, has established itself as one of the most exciting traditionalist estates in the Chianti Classico zone.
Giovanna’s “second wine” is produced from younger vines around the property and supplemented by a parcel of Sangiovese she rents in the nearby commune of Villa a Sesta, just six kilometers from Castelnuovo Berardenga. The wine’s name references several numerological coincidences: the five grape varieties of the estate (Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Colorino, Mammolo, Fogliotonda), the five leaves and flowers per bunch of a grapevine, and the winery’s home address. Aged for one year in Slavonian oak casks varying in capacity from 500 liters to 30 hectoliters, Cinque is simpler and more fruit-driven than Giovanna’s two longer-aged wines, but it nonetheless bears a profound soil imprint and will age effortlessly for years.
