Flaccianello della Pieve Fontodi 2021 is a 100% Sangiovese wine sourced from organically farmed grapes at the Fontodi estate in Panzano, situated in the Chianti region. The wine undergoes natural fermentation and spends 24 months maturing in fine Troncais and Allier oak barrels, allowing it to develop its character. Fontodi, known for its commitment to organic farming since the 1980s, places a strong emphasis on terroir, reflecting the essence of its sun-drenched Tuscan environment in this vintage.

The Fontodi 2021 Flaccianello della Pieve opens to a medium-dark inky appearance and solid aromas of black fruit and pressed blackberry. The Flaccianello is a touch more accessible at this early stage compared to the Vigna del Sorbo, but both wines are undoubtedly built to withstand ample cellar aging. Flaccianello is the more powerful or the two, and the Vigna del Sorbo is more delicate in comparison. These dueling character traits are especially evident in this classic 2021 vintage. This wine also boasts a more generous mouthfeel supported by softly integrated tannins. - Monica Larner

The 2021 Flaccianello della Pieve is another exceptional wine from Fontodi this year. Ripe, silky tannins wrap around a core of dark fruit as the 2021 makes its presence felt from the first taste. Sumptuous, racy and dense, this is just magnificent. As has been the case for some time, Flaccianello is a blend of mostly three parcels throughout the estate but closer to town.

100% Sangiovese.Impenetrable crimson. Intense, perfumed blueberry and cherry fruit nose. Savoury soy-sauce hints and a pinch of savoury oak. Impressive purity. Concentrated cherry fruit that is a little racy and with gravelly, fine tannins. Lots of acidity on the finish, while the fruit closes up. Something for the cellar. (WS)
