Fontodi
Flaccianello della Pieve 2013
Beautifully powerful, vibrant and elegant Super Tuscan
Deep, intense ruby red.
On the nose you get a fruity bouquet of black cherry, plum, and dried herbs, interlaced with notes of leather, tobacco, and a hint of balsamic.
On the palate you get a rich, full-bodied array of dark fruit (blackcurrant, cherry), firm, gritty tannins, well-integrated oak, and a touch of earthiness and meatiness.
The finish is long and refined, with lingering flavors of dark chocolate, spice, and a whisper of truffle.
