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 flagship wine “Le Trame”—formerly classified as Chianti Classico but proudly a Toscana Rosso since she wearied of the red tape and exited the appellation in 2012—comprises almost entirely Sangiovese, head-trained and densely planted, with splashes of interplanted indigenous varieties (Colorino, Mammolo, Foglia Tonda, and Ciliegiolo), all planted in the late 1980s. Fermented in open-top oak casks and aged in a combination of 15-hectoliter Stockinger botti and 500- and 600-liter barrels (all well used), Le Trame delivers powerful, punchy minerality and robustly healthy fruit that soars from the glass.
