Deep-toned and gracefully evolved, Fontodi’s 1995 Flaccianello della Pieve layers dried dark berries with rose, minty herbs and warm spice, all carried on a lean yet persistent frame shaped by the cool year and very late harvest. The palate feels taut and savory rather than plush, with fine, resolved tannins, lively acidity and a long, aromatic finish that speaks more of earth and complexity than sheer power.
Bistecca alla fiorentina, herbed roast lamb, aged Pecorino Toscano
Flaccianello della Pieve is Fontodi’s iconic, pure Sangiovese “Super Tuscan,” sourced from the estate’s best, organically farmed vineyards in the high-altitude Conca d’Oro amphitheater around Panzano in Chianti. Typically classified as Toscana IGT to allow stylistic freedom, it’s a powerful yet refined wine, fermented in stainless steel and aged about two years in French oak, celebrated for its dark cherry and blackberry fruit, vibrant acidity, firm but polished tannins, and outstanding capacity to age.
