Tasting note Fontodi’s ‘Super Tuscan’ Flaccianello is made from a selection of the finest grapes from the best areas of the Fontodi vineyards. The soil here is classic galestro, the schistous clay on which the Sangiovese grape produces its best results. It is open on the nose, showing perfumes of ripe, dark cherries, violets and plums, all spiced with a hint of wood smoke. On the palate it is more closed, rich and full, yet taut, poised and beautifully structured. With the fine, supple tannins that characterise this vintage, it is another classic from this superb estate.
