Product Notes

Fontodi Flaccianello della Pieve is an exquisite Tuscan wine as elegant as its name suggests. Its notable intensity is no accident; it originates from Italy's renowned Sangiovese grapes, carefully curated in certified organic vineyards. Its ruddy, ruby-red shade hints at the powerful, full-bodied palate of ripe red fruits, entwined with complex, spicy, and earthy undertones. This elite wine showcases pronounced tannins, effortlessly balanced by a robust character and lingering finish. Every sip of Flaccianello echoes the richness of the Chianti region, promising a captivating and opulent journey for both novices and seasoned wine enthusiasts. Certainly, a pinnacle expression of Tuscan Sangiovese.

Tasting Notes

This Sangiovese is bright, ruby red in colour. On the nose, aromas of ripe dark cherries, violets and plums, complemented by a hint of spice. This wine has wonderful structure and the palate is typically rich and full complemented by racy acidity and characteristically fine, supple tannins. The finish is flavourful and persistent.
