Description

The 2022 Fontodi Flaccianello della Pieve is a powerful Tuscan Sangiovese showing black cherry, ripe plum and red berries with violet, dried herbs, tobacco and savoury spice.

On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with vibrant acidity, firm fine-grained tannins and concentrated dark cherry, leather, herbs and spice. The finish is long, dry and persistent.

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this 1500ml Magnum is an excellent choice for Sangiovese drinkers seeking a structured Tuscan red with strong cellaring potential. Best enjoyed over the next 10–20 years. Pair with bistecca alla Fiorentina, slow-braised beef cheek, wild boar ragù or aged Pecorino.

About the region

Tuscany

Tuscany, or Toscana, is Sangiovese country. The grape is high in acid and tannin, savoury rather than sweet-fruited, and it changes with altitude and soil: firm and red-fruited in the hills of Chianti Classico, broader and longer-lived at Montalcino where it becomes Brunello. On the coast at Bolgheri the rules loosen and Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot take over, and it is there that several of the wines once labelled Super Tuscan were made.
