Situated in the heart of the Chianti Classico region, Fontodi is best known for its Super Tuscan wine, Flaccianello delle Pieve, a full-bodied varietal Sangiovese. The fermentation and maceration take place in stainless-steel tanks with indigenous yeasts and the wine is aged in French oak barrels and casks for approximately 24 months. The 1990 release is a now a fully mature expression, offering notes of dark cherries, figs, forest floor and hints of umami.
95 Vinous
The 1990 Flaccianello della Pieve (magnum) boasts extraordinary richness and power. Smoke, licorice, tar, graphite and plums are some of the many notes that jump from the glass in this rich, head spinning wine. The flashy, opulent personality of the year comes through in spades. There is a pronounced hint of sweetness and smokiness on the finish that this wine has had since the beginning. At this point, it is pretty clear that note will always remain.
