The Fontodi 'Flaccianello della Pieve' is vinified from 100% Sangiovese, these grapes come from the oldest plots of the winery and have undergone a strict selection. There are 6,000 vines per hectare, which are cared for using the Guyot pruning method. The wine was fermented in stainless steel, with the process proceeding naturally without the addition of foreign yeasts. The malolactic fermentation took place in barriques. For the aging, which took 18 months, new barriques made of Allier and Troncais oak were chosen. A fresh and penetrating wine. The aromas of various dark fruits increase the longer the wine has been allowed to air. A great length, warm and clean with a nice balance. Nice potential. The Flaccianello has a ruby red color with intense fruity aromas of plums and cherries, violets and vanilla. Full and juicy taste thanks to the soft tannins. The finish is complex with impressions of cocoa, tobacco and fruit.
