Note di degustazione
This is remembered as a beautiful growing season with a very cold spring, with lower than average temperatures, followed by a very hot and dry summer season. The 1988 Flaccianello della Pieve has shed all of its fruit and today delivers textbook aromas of mature Sangiovese. Those tertiary aromas include smoke, road pavement, tar, licorice and campfire ash. Again, the natural acidity of the grape saves the day, and the wine feels fresh, almost piquant, in terms of mouthfeel. The wine's firmness or inner fiber also remains intact. It offers a uniquely glossy or polished quality that emerges with particular emphasis on the finish. Flaccianello was not produced in 1989 because that vintage saw constant rain showers and Fontodi sold off its fruit in bulk.

The 1988 Flaccianello della Pieve is the richest and most powerful of the wines of the 1980s. Dark cherries, flowers, mint, tobacco, licorice and worn-in leather are some of the many notes that flow from this broad-shouldered wine.
Old but silky. Quite light. (JR)
Informazioni sul produttore
Situata vicino a Panzano in Chianti, la tenuta Fontodi fu acquisita dalla famiglia Manetti nel 1968, che ne ha accresciuto la fama. Oggi è rinomata per il Flaccianello della Pieve, un Sangiovese Super Tuscan in purezza, prodotto per la prima volta nel 1981.
