Flaccianello della Pieve - Fontodi - Colli Toscana Centrale. 2017
Flaccianello della Pieve 2017 from Fontodi — a flagship Super Tuscan from Colli Toscana Centrale — is a concentrated, elegant expression of Sangiovese with ripe black cherry, plum, and cassis at the core, framed by wild herbs, toasted cedar, and subtle violet perfume. The 2017 vintage brings firm yet refined tannins and a vibrant backbone of acidity that balance the wine’s dense fruit, while oak influence appears as spice and mocha rather than dominance. Medium to full-bodied with excellent persistence, it offers layers of savory earth, tobacco leaf, and a mineral streak on the long finish, making it approachable now with decanting but also very cellar-worthy for another decade or more.
