Flaccianello della Pieve 2021 shows Sangiovese in a deep, sculpted form, layering black cherry and blackberry with notes of violet, warm stone and subtle spice. The palate is dense yet beautifully poised, with ripe, polished tannins and vibrant acidity giving this powerful vintage both immediate appeal and clear promise for long aging. It feels like a particularly complete, harmonious expression even in its youth, with great depth but no heaviness.

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.
