Flaccianello della Pieve Fontodi 2007 is a Tuscan red wine crafted predominantly from Sangiovese grapes, sourced from the Fontodi estate, located in the heart of the Chianti Classico region. The 2007 vintage displays a robust character with a complex blend of dark fruit, herbal notes and subtle spices. Fontodi is known for its biodynamic practices, aligning viticulture with natural cycles, and the vineyards are planted at high altitudes, contributing to the wine`s structure and finesse. This magnum format allows for enhanced ageing potential, making it suitable for long-term cellaring.

The 2007 Flaccianello della Pieve captures the essence of this great Tuscan vintage. It is a decidedly sexy, opulent wine bursting at the seams with rich red berries, mint and spices. The tannins are present but virtually undetectable under layer after layer of fruit. There is out of question the 2007 is seamless, opulent and full-bodied. Readers who prefer more structured wines will gravitate to vintages such as 2001 and 2004. I find the 2007 utterly irresistible. It will also drink better earlier than some of the most classic vintages. Antonio Galloni1st June 2012

The 2007 Flaccianello della Pieve is showing signs of decline, and I have shortened the suggested drinking window here as a result. In fact, I have recently had the opportunity to taste this vintage in other contexts, and I came away with a similar impression. This was a hot vintage, and the various phases of phenolic ripening moved quickly along. The grapes were beautiful at harvest time, showing naturally rich concentration, succulence and structure. Today, some 12 years after the harvest, the wine has loosened up and flattened out. There are slightly oxidized notes on the bouquet, with dried prune and fig followed by spice, old tobacco and leather. This wine is open and mature, so if you have a bottle, I suggest you pull it out from the cellar soon. - Monica Larner
