WINE DESCRIPTION

Fontodi Flaccianello della Pieve is a complex and deeply-flavored red wine from the Tuscan region of Italy. It is a single-vineyard wine made from Sangiovese grapes grown on the estate's steep hillside vineyards. The wine is intense and concentrated, with aromas of dark cherries, spices, leather, and tobacco. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with ripe tannins, rich flavors of dark fruits, and hint of toasted oak. The finish is long and lingering, with an appealing earthy character. This is a classic example of a traditional Tuscan Super Tuscan.
