Depth and energy define the 2019 Fontodi Flaccianello della Pieve, with saturated black cherry and blackberry layered over subtle dark chocolate, cedar and dried herb notes. The palate is concentrated yet poised, its refined, tightly knit tannins giving a firm grip today while a bright, cool-fruited freshness keeps the long finish lifted and precise. This vintage feels particularly complete, combining intensity with an elegance that promises superb evolution in bottle.

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.
