The two wines by Bindi Sergardi tell the authentic story of the Sienese territory, combining tradition, elegance, and freshness. The wooden box contains two complementary expressions of Sangiovese, the king grape of Tuscany: Chianti DOCG “La Boncia” 2022 and Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG “Al Canapo” 2022. The first represents the most immediate and fragrant soul of Chianti, while the second expresses the typicality of the Colli Senesi, with a fuller structure and an authentic character. Both wines come from the historic Tenuta I Colli, which has belonged to the Bindi Sergardi family for centuries, a symbol of deep roots and consistent quality over time.

Vintage Details

The 2022 vintage in Tuscany was characterized by a balanced climate, with a hot and dry summer followed by beneficial rainfall at the end of August. The Sangiovese grapes reached ideal ripeness, developing intense aromas and a well-defined fruit. The result is wines with vibrant freshness, sweet tannins, and a harmonious profile that lends itself to both immediate consumption and evolution over time.

Winemaking and Aging

Both Chianti DOCG “La Boncia” 2022 and Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG “Al Canapo” 2022 are vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel. Fermentation, lasting approximately 10-15 days, occurs with maceration on the skins – a process that allows the wine to naturally extract color, aroma, and tannin. Aging continues in steel, thus preserving the aromatic freshness and typical gustatory liveliness, while also ensuring a clean and genuine profile.

Tasting Notes

Color

Both wines present a brilliant ruby red, with violet reflections that testify to their youthful vitality. An intense but transparent color, typical of traditional Tuscan Chianti wines.

Nose

On the nose, Chianti “La Boncia” expresses floral notes of violet and peony, accompanied by hints of fresh cherry and a delicate touch of spice. Chianti Colli Senesi “Al Canapo” offers more mature and profound aromas, with hints of red fruits, wet earth, and slight nuances of Mediterranean herbs.

Palate

“La Boncia” stands out for its lightness and drinkability: soft tannins, good acidity, and a fresh, fruity finish. “Al Canapo,” on the other hand, is more structured, with a medium body, firm but well-integrated tannins, and a long, harmonious, and slightly savory finish. The balance between elegance and typicality makes this wooden box an excellent choice for those who wish to discover the different nuances of Chianti by Bindi Sergardi.
