Flaccianello della Pieve Colli Toscana Centrale Sangiovese
Powerful masculine Sangiovese. 15 degrees alcohol. A monumental effort.

Oct 19th, 2020The 2016 Flaccianello della Pieve is a truly special, moving wine. There's not much more to say. The 2016 was epic when I tasted it last year. It is every bit as memorable today. Beautifully layered, the 2016 possesses remarkable finesse and power. All of the natural intensity of Panzano's Conca d'Oro comes through in a wine that dazzles from start to finish. As always, Flaccianello showcases the darker side of Sangiovese. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2020)

Feb 7th, 2022Yes and no. It was absolutely a pleasure now but I think even better to wait. I have several bottles and wanted to see what it was like now both out of curiosity and future comparison.

Feb 11th, 2021Young but wow. Pop and more. Bursts out from first sip. Dark fruits. Alcohol is high but nice acidity too. This is fantastic now. I bet it will be stunning in five years or so.
