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.

Wine Expert Note:

This iconic wine from the Fontodi estate in Tuscany is a stunning expression of Sangiovese. With its intense ruby red hue and complex aromas of dark cherries, leather, herbs, and licorice, it is truly a remarkable wine. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and packed with flavors of ripe dark fruits, dried herbs, tobacco, and hints of sweet spices. The tannins are well-integrated and provide a nice structure and balance to the long, lingering finish. A truly classic Italian wine.
