Ranked #1 2020 Sangiovese from Tuscany by The Real Review 2025.
97 POINTS ★★★★★ Huon Hooke, The Real Review, Jan 2025.
"Deep and dark colour in the glass, the bouquet earthy/woodsy and smoky/peaty, dried mushroom, dark fruits hiding deep within. Not a primary fruit wine by a long shot. There's a touch of earthiness about it while the wine is full-bodied and powerful, concentrated and emphatic to taste, with firm and slightly aggressive tannins and a generous serving of oak. The structure suggests it needs more time. Fruit is hard to locate but is definitely in there: drinking a glass with food reveals its profound core of gorgeous ripe fruit. A statuesque wine that needs age, or else a hearty protein accompaniment if you broach it now. Drink: 2027-2040."
ABOUT FONTODI
Fontodi has belonged to the Manetti family since 1968. The family has been associated for centuries with another activity typical of the Chianti region, the production of its famous “terrecotte” tiles. And it is in the name of this strong link with the territory and a great passion for quality that the estate has moved successfully towards an ever more attentive cultivation of the vineyards and a more profound knowledge of the potential of Sangiovese in the zone of Panzano. Fontodi is a certified organic estate which extends over 130 hectars of which about 70 are planted with vines. The type of agriculture practised is inspired by the principles of respect of nature and sustainability. Not only are no chemical products used but there is an effort to maximize the internal resources of the estate, thereby reducing the need for any external input. Respecting the environment means wines that are better, purer, and a truer expression of the grape and the territory. The process of vinification and ageing in wood takes place in the modern cellar, built on descending levels to take advantage of gravity, guaranteeing the most respect possible for the natural integrity of the grape, in order to exalt the character and elegance of the wines.
Description
Top-rated 96 Points, Monica Larmer, Robert Parker Wine Advocate, Sep 2023: The 2020 Flaccianello della Pieve is the full package. This point is clear when you taste all the other wines in the Fontodi portfolio and conclude with this bottle. This organic Sangiovese shows beautiful intensity and remains balanced throughout with dark fruit, crushed stone, spice and wild rose. It borrows themes of elegance, depth and ripeness played across this vintage. The wine wraps smoothly over the palate with substantial fruit weight and sweet tannins. This warm-vintage expression can be aged or enjoyed straight out of the gate. Production is 60,000 bottles. Drink: Now-2048

What The Critics Say
"Extremely floral with sage and licorice to the berry and dark cherry aromas that follow through to a medium body, with fine and silky tannins that run the length of the wine. Very crunchy for Flaccianello. Vivid on the palate. From organically grown grapes. Drink after 2025."
