Le Trame - 'the intrigue' - is the heart of Giovanna Morganti's estate and the Tuscan wine people reach for when they want something closer to Paolo Bea than to modern Chianti: wild and polished at the same time. It is Sangiovese grown alongside the old Tuscan supporting cast of Ciliegiolo, Colorino, Foglia Tonda, Mammolo and Prugnolo, planted at very high density so the roots have to dig into clay-limestone soils at San Felice, in the southern reaches of Chianti Classico. Morganti left the Chianti Classico DOCG behind over rule changes she felt favored large producers, so the flagship is now bottled simply as Toscana. Fermentation is slow and natural in open-top wooden casks, and ageing is long in big old Austrian and Slavonian oak and then in bottle, with no new wood anywhere. Production is around a thousand cases and only a quarter or so of that lands in the US, which is why this comes around roughly once a year.

More about Podere Le Boncie

Chianti's traditionalist voice. Giovanna Morganti's three-hectare estate left the Chianti Classico consortium to gain freedom—and proved she needed it. Her Le Trame and Il Cinque bottlings emphasize Sangiovese's elegance over power, farmed sustainably and made with minimalist cellar work. In a sea of blockbuster Tuscans, her wines whisper. The whisper is worth hearing.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What Rosenthal Wine Merchant has to say about this wine:

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.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Bistecca alla fiorentina, wild boar ragu, roast duck with fennel, porcini risotto, aged pecorino.

Tasting Profile

Red cherry, graphite, dried herbs and a wild floral edge. Medium-bodied, firm acidity, gently rustic tannins, long savory finish.
