Flaccianello della Pieve Colli Toscana Centrale Sangiovese
Tuscany, Italy
Served to me by Giovanni Manetti but you didn’t hear that from me—he’s president of the Chianti Classico Consortium but DAMN this is good wine and he’s tilting at changes in the region to ever improve all the wines. I couldn’t NOT mention this tho, thrilling just to smell, savory and richly fruited, and complex beyond…cherry cordial, mint, chocolate, blackberries, cheerful and serious all at once. Splendid and beyond.

My favourite italian wine. Cherries and leather with the perfect balance between power and acidity. Already amazing and this is a 2019!!! One to watch over the coming years

What a youthful yet powerful wine for 10 years old! Deep ruby with slight pink rum variation, dark cherries and savory herbs and massive tannins.

Nice Sangiovese- a little tannic and tough around he edges - an hour after decanting.
