2020 Fontodi Flaccianello della Pieve Colli della Toscana Centrale IGT

$129.99
2020 Fontodi Flaccianello della Pieve Colli della Toscana Centrale IGT

Fontodi is one of the great wine producers in Tuscany today, located in the town of Panzano in a valley called 'Conca d'Oro' or the golden shell due to its fertile soil, sun exposure, and amphitheater shape. The Fontodi family has been making wine since 1968 but has been in Chianti for centuries, formerly known for their production of Terracotta before venturing into wine. The Estate owns 130 hectares of organically tended land, with 70 dedicated to vines. Flaccianello della Pieve is a selection of the Estate's best Sangiovese vines and spends extended time (24 months) aging in oak (Troncais and Allier barrels). The 2020 is a magnificent example of this legendary Tuscan from this great Cantina. A wine of mesmerizing richness and acidity that creates a stunning dynamic of energy and power with seriously captivating complexity. This is clearly a contender for the best Tuscan of the vintage and one to strongly consider. We have a limited amount available at this excellent pricing today, and it's highly recommended!

James Suckling 97 points! "Extremely floral with sage and licorice to the berry and dark cherry aromas that follow through to a medium body, with fine and silky tannins that run the length of the wine. Very crunchy for Flaccianello. Vivid on the palate. From organically grown grapes. Drink after 2025."

Wine Advocate (Monica Larner) 96 points! "The 2020 Flaccianello della Pieve is the full package. This point is clear when you taste all the other wines in the Fontodi portfolio and conclude with this bottle. This organic Sangiovese shows beautiful intensity and remains balanced throughout with dark fruit, crushed stone, spice and wild rose. It borrows themes of elegance, depth and ripeness played across this vintage. The wine wraps smoothly over the palate with substantial fruit weight and sweet tannins. This warm-vintage expression can be aged or enjoyed straight out of the gate. Production is 60,000 bottles."

Vinous (Antonio Galloni) 96 points! "The 2020 Flaccianello della Pieve is a blend of Fontodi's vineyards, mostly three main vineyards planted on sites with very dense, heavy rocks. Dark, pliant and inviting, the 2020 is so expressive today. Black cherry, plum, spice, lavender, licorice and mocha are seamless in the glass. The 2020 is a fine Flaccianello with a bright future. Most of this blend is sourced from three parcels in upper hillside vineyards close to town center. The 2020 spent a year and a half in barrique (40% new) and six months in cask."
