Fontodi's Flaccianello delle Pieve is widely regarded as one of the finest expressions of Sangiovese in Tuscany. Produced from the estate's top vineyards, this wine is the result of meticulous care and attention to detail throughout the entire winemaking process. The wine is deep ruby red, with a bouquet of ripe black cherries, dark plums, and complex hints of leather, tobacco, and spices. On the palate, Flaccianello is rich and full-bodied, yet it retains a sense of elegance and finesse that is characteristic of the best Sangiovese wines. The tannins are firm and well-structured, providing an excellent backbone for the wine’s vibrant acidity. This balance ensures that the wine has great aging potential, with flavors continuing to evolve and develop over time. The finish is long and persistent, marked by a touch of minerality that reflects the unique terroir of the Colli della Toscana Centrale. Flaccianello delle Pieve represents the pinnacle of Fontodi’s dedication to quality, making it an iconic wine in the world of Tuscan reds.
