In 2006, Giovanna acquired the rights to an exquisite 1.5-hectare vineyard a couple of miles up the road from the cellar called Chiesa Monti. With a stonier soil profile and a lower clay content than her home turf, the vines here, now over a decade old, used to be blended into 'Cinque' in their younger years, but now 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': showing a bit more muscle this year, the tannins are fine-grained and persistent, and the purity of the fruit here, too, is unmistakable. Dark red cherry, tobacco, incense, grilled herbs, menthol, orange peel, and spice all come alive in this striking Sangiovese.
