Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

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. Tannin management is an active pursuit. Time in barrique has been reduced over the years in favor of a final six-month resting period in larger oak casks. In fact, the barrel room was recently enlarged to give more room to these bigger vessels. The 2019 vintage recalls the balance of 2001 with the freshness of 2013. However, 2019 is more profound.

Features

Description

Fontodi Flaccianello della Pieve is made from 100% Sangiovese grapes, a grape variety that is emblematic of this Tuscan region. The grapes are selected from the best vineyards, with a density of 6,000 vines per hectare. The pruning and training technique used is Guyot.

Winemaking

Vinification is carried out by spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts and maceration of the skins in stainless steel tanks for 3 weeks. Subsequently, it is aged in French oak barrels and foudres for 24 months. An average of 60,000 bottles of this exquisite wine are produced annually.

Taste

Flaccianello della Pieve is a true representation of Tuscan excellence. On the palate, one can perceive aromas of cherry, coffee and truffle, evoking the richness of the Tuscan soils. On the palate, it stands out for its great structure that balances opulence and fresh acidity. The primary flavours are intense, with notes of cherry, dark plum and earthy hints. The finish is long, elegant and unctuous, leaving a lasting impression on the palate.
