2021 Podere Le Boncie '5' Rosso. Tuscany-ITALY. 750ml.
This is the little brother/sister of "Le Trame" from Podere Le Boncie. The wine was originally sold only through the winery only and was essentially created from fruit of vines younger and/or less well-positioned.
The original composition was sangiovese, conaiolo, mammalo, colorino and fogliatonda butnow consists of mainly Sangiovese and two rows of conaiolo. Now it is mainly a blend of sangiovese with a touch of conaiolo with grapes sourced from outside out the Chianti Classico zone.
This comes off with a pretty and nuanced nose of red fruits, red cherry and a subtle minerally spice that accents the clean fruit profile. Mid to light in style with nice focus and a little bump of plush fruit through the middle palate that carries the wine along nicely.
