94 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2020 Chiesamonti is another super-intriguing wine from Le Boncie. Compared to Le Trame, Chiesamonti shows a bit more muscle, while the tannins are marked by an incisive quality that is impossible to miss. Here, too, the purity of the flavors is unmistakable. Dark red cherry, tobacco, incense, grilled herbs, menthol, orange peel and spice all come alive in this striking Sangiovese. Drink: 2025-2040. (Aug 2023)"
Importer notes: "'Chiesamonti' is a 1.3-hectare parcel adjacent to the town of San Felice in Castelnuovo Berardenga, with a stonier soil profile and a lower clay content than Giovanna’s home turf. The vines, now over a decade old, used to be blended into 'Cinque' in their younger years, but she now feels they are ready for prime time, and this wine—bottled on its own for the first time in 2018—provides a fascinating counterpoint to 'Le Trame': silkier, higher-toned, and overall prettier, with a more blatant mineral underpinning and less sumptuously fleshy fruit. It spends two years in Stockinger barrels, just like its sister wine, and it comprises nearly entirely Sangiovese, with just a touch of Canaiolo."
