Podere Le Boncie Chiesamonti Toscana IGT, Tuscany, Italy 2023

“Chiesamonti” Toscana IGT 2023 is a deeply authentic and terroir-driven expression from one of Tuscany’s most respected small estates, led by the meticulous hand of Giovanna Morganti. Sourced from organically farmed vineyards near Castelnuovo Berardenga in Chianti Classico, this bottling reflects a thoughtful, low-intervention approach that prioritizes purity and site expression over manipulation. The 2023 vintage opens with lifted aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, crushed rose petals, blood orange, and subtle Mediterranean herbs, framed by earthy undertones and a faint savory spice. On the palate, it is vibrant and finely detailed, showing juicy red fruit, bright acidity, and finely textured tannins that give the wine both structure and finesse. There is a remarkable sense of energy and transparency here, with minimal oak influence allowing the Sangiovese character to speak clearly. Elegant yet honest, “Chiesamonti” is a wine that bridges drinkability and complexity, offering immediate pleasure while retaining the nuance and aging potential that define the best of contemporary Tuscan artisanal winemaking.
