2022 Le Boncie - Toscana Rosso IGT Chiesamonti (750ml)
Sourced exclusively from the 1.3‑hectare Chiesamonti parcel in San Felice, the 2022 Le Boncie Chiesamonti meets Toscana Rosso IGT regulations using a Sangiovese base blended with a measured portion of Canaiolo. Biodynamic cultivation and hand-harvesting define the farming cycle across this shallow, stony site with low clay content. The 2022 growing season delivered consistent summer heat, driving carbohydrate accumulation and phenolic ripeness to produce concentrated fruit character. Post-fermentation, the wine rests for roughly two years in Stockinger oak casks, a slow maturation window that integrates moderate tannins while retaining structural freshness.
Tasting analysis reveals layers of dark plum, black cherry, and blood orange zest, supported by dried rose petal, wild lavender, and a persistent wet-stone mineral backbone. The palate remains streamlined rather than bulky, with bright acidity cutting through the firm tannic framework to deliver an extended, savory close.
Recommended pairings:
Decant 30–45 minutes and serve at 60–64°F alongside protein-rich dishes or aged cheeses.
- Wild boar ragù: Heavy game fats balance the tannin structure while echoing earthy undertones.
- Grilled quail: Charred skin and white meat highlight the aroma’s herbal lift and citrus notes.
- Aged Tuscan pecorino: Salty crystals and crystalline texture amplify dried-flower aromatics and extend the finish.
