Fontodi Flaccianello della Pieve 2021

A polished and sophisticated wine with a robust and rich nose, featuring floral accents of violet and cherry, augmented by hints of leather and tobacco. Its elegant character is further enhanced by a long and delightful finish.

Substantial bottle of wine that requires a thoughtful approach to release. After 4 hours, it was already showing promise, but it truly came alive after that. Paired with Tignanello 2016, it stood out as a superior example. The wine has a rich, full-bodied texture and a long, contenting finish. The tannins are silky and well-integrated. With time, it will only continue to improve, but it's worth waiting a couple of years to fully appreciate its potential. A high-quality bottle that warrants patience and careful consideration.

A robust and layered wine with a deep, earthy aroma that unfolds with red and black fruits, black cherry, plums, and spices, on a full-bodied texture that demonstrates ripe fruit, tannins, and a lingering finish, with a juicy aftertaste. The tannins are substantial, and the finish is long and satisfying, with a score of 96 points.
