    Flaccianello della Pieve 2019, produced by the esteemed Fontodi winery under the guidance of winemaker Giovanni Manetti, is a remarkable example of superior Sangiovese from Tuscany.

    This wine is made with 100% Sangiovese grapes, embodying the estate’s dedication to nature, sustainability, and quality.

    The wine showcases a deep, sanguine color that hints at its robust nature. Upon pouring, it reveals enticing aromas of blackberry, black-cherry, bark, and ink. These complex aromas create a captivating bouquet that carries through to the palate.

    The taste is full-bodied, with integrated tannins and a solid core of fruit. The texture is rich and harmonious, with refined tannins adding depth and balance. Flavors of macerated black cherry, blackberry, and oak spice fill out the layers, creating a smooth and satisfying finish.

    The juice ferments in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts, and the Flaccianello della Pieve ages in French oak barrels for 24 months. This modern, gravity-fed process ensures the highest quality, resulting in a wine that reflects the quintessentially Tuscan surroundings. The 2019 vintage recalls the balance of 2001 with the freshness of 2013, offering rich concentration and layers of dark fruit.

    Flaccianello della Pieve 2019 has received high praise from critics. Wine Spectator awarded it 94 points, describing it as smooth and harmonious, with refined tannins and a long finish. 96 points from James Suckling noting its tight, integrated tannins and solid core of fruit.

    Wine Advocate and Jeb Dunnuck awarded it 98 points, highlighting its rich concentration, dark fruit layers, and substantial aging potential. Vinous and The Wine Independent also praised the wine, with scores of 94 and 96 points respectively, emphasizing its potent nature and appealing sweet black cherry nose.

    This wine is best enjoyed between 2023 and 2040, allowing its intricate layers to fully unfold and evolve. While it is a little hard and tight now, it has incredible aging potential and will improve with time. From organically grown grapes, this wine is a testament to the commitment to quality and sustainability of the Fontodi winery.

    Critical Acclaim

    WS 94
    Wine Spectator
    This smooth red is highlighted by macerated black cherry, blackberry and oak spice flavors. Harmonious, with a kick of refined tannins on the long finish. A polished style with the structure to age. Sangiovese. Best from 2023 through 2040.
    WA 98
    Wine Advocate
    The 2019 Flaccianello della Pieve is another stunning wine that sums up the character of the vintage and reflects the sun-drenched beauty of its quintessentially Tuscan surroundings. Giovanni Manetti and his team have two new important wines in the works, but Flaccianello remains an old love and a wine that hits the highest marks for quality consistency vintage after vintage. I tasted this wine next to the 100-point 2016 vintage for friendly comparison, and perhaps the main difference is that the tannins are finer and more accessible in this bottle. It offers rich concentration and layers of dark fruit that wrap thickly over the senses. Tannin management is an active pursuit. Time in barrique has been reduced over the years in favor of a final six-month resting period in larger oak casks. In fact, the barrel room was recently enlarged to give more room to these bigger vessels. The 2019 vintage recalls the balance of 2001 with the freshness of 2013. However, 2019 is more profound.

    Jeb Dunnuck
    Also entirely Sangiovese from the best selections across the Fontodi vineyards in the amphitheater of the Conca d'Oro, the 2019 Flaccianello Della Pieve was raised for two years in French oak barrels. It pours a similarly rich red sanguine color and reveals toasty aromas of incense, blackberries, sage, and sappy earth. More robust than the Vigna del Sorbo, it’s full-bodied without being heavy and offers supple, ripe tannins, a seamlessly integrated structure through a long finish, and dark mineral tones that last for days. Another fantastic, age-worthy wine, it’s certain to improve if well stored. Allow it another couple of years and drink 2026-2046

    James Suckling
    Blackberry, black-cherry, bark and ink aromas follow through to a full body with tight, integrated tannins and a solid core of fruit at the same time. A little hard and tight now. From organically grown grapes. Needs time to open. Try after 2025.
    VIN 94
    Vinous
    The 2019 Flaccianello della Pieve is another potent wine from Fontodi in this vintage. That said, it has more than enough mid-palate heft and overall intensity to balance its equally imposing tannins. Black cherry, mocha, licorice, lavender, spice and tobacco fill out the layers. The 2019 needs time to integrate its oak and for the imposing tannins to soften. Drink: 2026-2044.
    WI 96
    The Wine Independent
    This 2019 Fontodi Flaccianello della Pieve was originally a single vineyard wine but in recent years it has become a blend of the best Sangiovese from different vineyards. It has a very appealing sweet black cherry nose with some exotic oak spice like sandalwood or incense. It is smoky and creamy on the palate, round and spicy with lots of lavish oak which is covering the fruit a little bit right now. It has very attractive, tangy acidity and quite firm, slightly dry tannins. It is still very young and not quite in complete harmony yet but has great potential to age gracefully. For owner Giovanni Manetti, “The 2019 vintage in Panzano in Chianti had great balance - it was never too hot and never too dry.” Drink 2024 to 2039.
