2000 Fontodi Flaccianello della Pieve: Millennium Sangiovese Magnum

The 2000 Fontodi Flaccianello della Pieve Colli della Toscana Centrale IGT Rouge 1.5L Magnum is a mature, majestic collector jewel of pure Sangiovese. In particular, this cuvée comes from old vines planted in the natural amphitheater of the Conca d’Oro in Panzano in Chianti. In addition, over two decades of cellar aging in large format have woven its structure into complex tertiary beauty.

Tasting Notes for 2000 Fontodi Flaccianello della Pieve

The wine opens with mature aromas of dried red cherry, leather, tobacco leaf, potpourri, and aged balsamic. Furthermore, delicate tertiary layers of forest floor, black truffle, and cedar emerge with patient aeration. On the palate, silky, resolved tannins frame a savory core of dried red fruit and warm earth. Consequently, the finish lingers with noble Tuscan poise, savory minerality, and haunting tertiary grace.
