About this Item

Flaccianello della Pieve, 2007
1 (1 x 1) 750ml

Fontodi has belonged to the Manetti family since 1968. For centuries, the estate has been associated with the production of its famous terracotta tiles, typical of the Chianti region. It has a strong link to the territory and a great passion for quality. Their attentive cultivation of the vineyards and a profound knowledge of the potential of Sangiovese in the zone of Panzanohas established them as one of the finest producers in the region. Their philosophy of respecting the environment means that their wines that are better, purer, and a truer expression of the grape and the terroir.

Critics Ratings

‘The 2007 Flaccianello della Pieve captures the essence of this great Tuscan vintage. It is a decidedly sexy, opulent wine bursting at the seams with rich red berries, mint and spices. The tannins are present but virtually undetectable under layer after layer of fruit. There is no question the 2007 is seamless, opulent and full-bodied. Readers who prefer more structured wines will gravitate to vintages such as 2001 and 2004. I find the 2007 utterly irresistible. It will also drink better earlier than some of the most classic vintages. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2027.’ - Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate, 95+/100 (Jun 2012)
