"The Fontodi 2017 Flaccianello della Pieve is a standout wine of the dry vintage. This pure Sangiovese opens to a dark garnet color with more visible concentration and density compared to recent past editions. This is a beautiful wine with pliant tannins, dark fruit richness, balanced acidity and a fruit-forward 15% alcohol content. The wine is big and bold when weighed on the Flaccianello scale (and even more so when weighed on the Sangiovese scale) with dark cherry, plum, spice, violet, chalk and campfire ash. Despite that power and inner opulence, this wine adds that zesty Sangiovese character with fresh acidity and an energized approach. This Flaccianello is whole and complete with the natural firmness and structure to hold it steady during the aging process. A small part of amphorae-aged fruit is added to the blend: 96 Parker Points.
Reviewed by Monica Larner of Robert Parker/Wine Advocate.
Flaccianello della Pieve is the result of a selection of the finest Sangiovese grapes which come from the best vineyards of Fontodi and are grown wit only natural methods. The vineyards are located in the "Conca d'Oro" of Panzano, a magnificent natural amphitheater blessed with a unique microclimate and dominated by the thousand-year-old Parish Church of San Leolino a Flacciano. Ageing takes place for 24 months in barriques of Allier and Troncais, followed by an appropriate rest in the bottle."
