Flaccianello della Pieve 2015 Toscana IGT - Fontodi

Fontodi's Flaccianello della Pieve 2015 Toscana IGT is a pure Sangiovese of extraordinary elegance and power, considered one of Tuscany's most iconic and long-lived Super Tuscans.

Produced in the Conca d'Oro of Panzano in Chianti, a natural amphitheater with ideal exposure and marly soils, this wine is made from a selection of the estate's finest vineyards, cultivated according to certified organic criteria. The 2015 vintage was excellent, with optimal weather conditions favoring complete and balanced ripening of the grapes.

Vinification involves spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts and maceration in stainless steel for at least three weeks, followed by aging for 24 months in barriques and French oak barrels. The result is an intense ruby red, with complex aromas of ripe cherry, plum, aromatic herbs, licorice, vanilla, and cloves. On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, with firm yet elegant tannins, a perfect balance between freshness and warmth, and a long, harmonious finish.

With an alcohol content of 15% ABV and a limited production of approximately 60,000 bottles, Flaccianello 2015 has received extremely high scores from international critics (up to 98/100 from Falstaff), confirming its status as a collectible wine suitable for long aging.
