Introducing the “5” – A Distinctive Expression by Giovanna Morganti
Beyond her flagship wine, Le Trame, Giovanna Morganti crafts the “5,” a wine whose name is not derived from scholastic grading systems but simply from the house number of her estate. Sharing the same foundation as Le Trame, the “5” is made from a blend of Sangiovese (approx. 75%), Mammolo, Colorino, and Foglia Tonda, grown on a terrain rich in quartz and limestone.
The key differences lie in the age of the vines and slight variations in production methods. The “5” is fermented in steel tanks rather than wooden barrels, with about 30 days of skin contact. It is then aged for one year in used wooden barrels and bottled unfiltered.
Style & Aromas
The “5” captivates with energy, freshness, and dynamism, alongside red fruit and delicate floral notes. While Le Trameis crafted with the future in mind, the “5” is a celebration of the present. Its shorter maceration period results in a refreshing, juicy, and vibrant character, yet it remains profound, deep, and powerful. Ready to drink from the first pour, this wine will also continue to evolve in the bottle for years to come.
