Fontodi Flaccianello Della Pieve 2019

WINE ADVOCATE 98 POINTS!
JAMES SUCKLING 96 POINTS!
100% TUSCAN SANGIOVESE, ONE OF THE FINEST SUPER-TUSCAN WINES PRODUCED

 

"The 2019 Flaccianello della Pieve is another stunning wine that sums up the character of the vintage and reflects the sun-drenched beauty of its quintessentially Tuscan surroundings. Giovanni Manetti and his team have two new important wines in the works, but Flaccianello remains an old love and a wine that hits the highest marks for quality consistency vintage after vintage. I tasted this wine next to the 100-point 2016 vintage for friendly comparison, and perhaps the main difference is that the tannins are finer and more accessible in this bottle. It offers rich concentration and layers of dark fruit that wrap thickly over the senses. The 2019 vintage recalls the balance of 2001 with the freshness of 2013. However, 2019 is more profound." - Wine Advocate

 

"The 2019 Flaccianello della Pieve is another potent wine from Fontodi in this vintage. That said, it has more than enough mid-palate heft and overall intensity to balance its equally imposing tannins. Black cherry, mocha, licorice, lavender, spice and tobacco fill out the layers." - Vinous
