Colour

Clean, clear and bright. Cherry color with garnet reflections. It has very good layer intensity. Very nice to see.

AROMA:

Direct entry into the nose and very frankly. A tremendously opulent wine is perceived with a catalog of highly identifying aromas of the same variety. The spicy notes of wild berries and tea leaves are expressed, which help harmonize with its freshness, the mint notes. More vegetable (tomato) and mineral flavors appear, where the humid earth note culminates its aromatic range.

TASTE:

In the mouth, it is power. It stains your taste buds with its majestic opulence throughout the tour of the palate. Showing a velvety and slightly earthy sensation, with tannins present but practically undetectable under its layers of fruit. Long and very persistent.

The vineyard that has given the name to this wine (Flaccianello) has always produced superior quality Sangiovese wines. It was created in 1987 with the double proposal, first to demonstrate the important potential of this farm and second to create a high level using only Sangiovese grapes. Flaccianello is given very particular attention, either during the harvest or later in winemaking and later in aging, where exclusively 225-liter French oak barrels are used for 18 months, followed by a period of one year in the bottle in our cemetery, before proceeding to its commercialization. The Flaccianello is born in the best vineyard on the Fontodi property where each year the best quality of the Sangiovese grape is obtained. This wine represents the qualitative peak of Hacienda Fontodi and is produced exclusively in the best quality years. Aging: Minimum 18 months in Allier barrels. Balanced in the bottle for 12 months. Serving temperature: 16-18 ° C
