Note di degustazione
The 1991 Flaccianello della Pieve was a little more problematic in this tasting, showing a flat side with more pronounced oxidation that has overtaken the authenticity of this wine's true character. The bouquet delivers mature aromas of cured meat, dried fig and dusty spice. The wine's texture is loose, and the mouthfeel measures at a lower threshold both in terms of focus and freshness. Flaccianello was not made in the 1992 vintage.

The 1991 Flaccianello della Pieve is another surprise from a long forgotten vintage. At 20+ years of age, the 1991 has aged very well. There is an element of rusticity in the aromas and flavors, yet at the same time the 1991 still boasts considerable depth, power and vibrancy. Dark cherries, licorice and smoke linger on the finish. The 1991 isn't a legendary Flaccianello by any means, but it is nevertheless surprisingly outstanding.
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.
