Flaccianello is made from a selection of the best Sangiovese grapes, which are organically grown in Fontodi’s prime vineyards in the Conca d’Oro. The wine is bright, ruby red in colour. On the nose, aromas of ripe dark cherries, violets and plums, complemented by a hint of spice. The palate is typically rich and full complemented by racy acidity and characteristically fine, supple tannins. The finish is flavourful and persistent. A great wine to pair with Prosciutto or gnocchi with sage and butter sauce.

The 2017 Flaccianello della Pieve is fabulous. Dark, sensual and enveloping, the 2017 captures the essence of the house style in its textural richness and baritone inflections. Black cherry, plum, spice, new leather, licorice and chocolate infuse the 2017 with tremendous richness. The 2017 spent 18 months in barrique followed by 6 months in cask, the same aging regime as the Vigna del Sorbo, but with a bit more new oak. That approach worked very well, as the Flaccianello stands out for its exceptional textural elegance and finesse. It is a positively stellar wine.Antonio Galloni1st September 2020
