This vibrant red wine offers a nose filled with aromas of red plum, black cherry, and subtle herbs. On the palate, it is dynamic and intense, showcasing flavours of juicy berries, liquorice, and a hint of oak. The tannins are firm yet refined, leading to a persistent and elegant finish.

The 2018 Flaccianello della Pieve is another stellar wine from Fontodi. It is the richest Flaccianello ever made (in terms of dry extract), with elevated acidity that trails the 2016 by just a touch, but it does not taste like that at all. Dark cherry, violet, lavender, spice, mocha and graphite build with a bit of time in the glass. Like the Sorbo, the 2018 Flaccianello is not a wine of size, as in most previous years, but rather a wine that exudes vibrancy, energy and class from start to finish. I absolutely loved it.
