Ripe black cherry and blackberry pulse through the 2020 Fontodi Flaccianello della Pieve, layered with dark spice, lavender and a subtle mocha warmth. The palate is concentrated yet surprisingly lithe, its glossy fruit framed by finely woven, chalky tannins that feel long, even and poised rather than powerful. A vibrant, rock-inflected finish marks this as a particularly complete and approachable young Flaccianello with plenty of depth in reserve.

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.
