The 2016 Fontodi Flaccianello della Pieve is a benchmark, single-vineyard 100% Sangiovese from the Conca d`Oro in Panzano, rendered in the age-worthy magnum format. The outstanding 2016 vintage contributes immense concentration to this wine, yielding a full-bodied, enveloping palate of mature Marasca cherry, prune, liquorice and tobacco. It is distinguished by layers of intricately wrought, fine-grained tannins and a pulse of fresh acidity, creating a kaleidoscope of flavour that demands significant cellaring time to fully integrate its complex structure.
