Flaccianello della Pieve 2004, is a celebrated Tuscan wine crafted by Fontodi from Sangiovese sourced from vineyards in the heart of the Panzano amphitheatre. Following traditional fermentation, the wine aged for 18 months in French oak barriques – 40% of these being new – before a final maturation in larger oak casks for six months. Fontodi, founded by Giovanni Manetti, has been committed to organic farming since the 1980s, reflecting their dedication to terroir expression in every bottle.

The 2004 Flaccianello della Pieve is super elegant, polished and impeccably refined, just as it always has been. At the same time, it is one of the bigger 2004s from Tuscany readers will come across. Dark red berries, flowers, spices and menthol are layered into the finish. Today the aromatics aren't full developed, but that should not be an issue in another few years. There is plenty of underlying structure to support many years of fine drinking. The quality of the tannins is particularly fine, especially next to the other great Flaccianellos.
