Fontodi Flaccianello delle Pieve Colli della Toscana Centrale

Tuscany

Colli della Toscana Centrale

Cool, concentrated aromas of eucalyptus, perfectly ripe red fruit and salt licorice. Very youthful with firm tannins and vibrant acidity, but there is a very elegant fruit core of blackberries, sour cherries and plums. A standout wine from a challenging vintage, which will be exciting to follow through the years. 

Amatør

Aroma of blackberries, blueberries, vanilla and dark chocolate.

Taste of dark plums, cherries, blueberries and earth/minerals.





Amateur

Ikke sikker på om jeg kan lukte mer, lukter fløyelsmykt. 

Tydelige tanniner på denne. Kompleks, mørk rød frukt, krydder, blomster. Veldig god, men denne trenger mer tid, men kan også nytes nå som en kraftigere vin.

Mørke frukter på duft som bjørnebær, blåplummer og sorte moreller. 
Medium pluss munnfølelse, massevis av ferske avrundede tanniner og høy syre. Lang flott lengde, en virkelig flott balansert vin, harmonisk med punch og kraft uten at den blir pompøs.

 93/💯 points and 4.5 ⭐️ 

🎨 Dense and dark rubin red colour. 

👃🏼 Great nose with dark cherries, licorice and some pepper and herbs. 

👄 Great mouthfeel, juicy and nice with a bit spicy and tannic ending, but great structure - that will evolve further over the next number of years. Superb length.

💶 Bought at Fontodi Winery in 2015 for € 50.

Alderen har bært meget pent. 

Lagret i kjølig kjeller.
God balanse mellom primærfrukt og sekundæraroma. Trøffel, kandensert morell.
Nydelig.

The nose is fruity with strawberries and blackberries. There is also dry forest floor and minerals like shale. 

The palate is medium-bodied, intensely fruity and acidic in fine balance. The tannins are noticeable but elegant and nicely integrated. 

The finish is long and complex. It is surprisingly fresh to be from such a warm vintage. It will pair well with food now, but should preferably age for another 5 years in the cellar.

Expert

The nose is clean, fresh and intensely fruity with blueberries, blackberries and crow-berries. There is also black tea, autumn leaves, saffron and cardamom. It is complex and incredibly appealing. 

The palate is medium-bodied, intensely fruity as for the nose, and medium-acidic. The tannins are noticeable, but fine-grained, mature and well integrated. The aftertaste is long and complex. 

It's lovely and drinkable now, but still quite primary. This is among the very best vintages for this one, and it will be lovely over the next 20 years.

I think Flaccianello is among the most exciting wines in Italy. This time it is the 2004 which is a very good vintage. 

The nose is fruity with ripe black currants, blackberries and strawberries. There is also forest floor with autumn leaves and a moist cellar. It is complex, exciting and incredibly appealing. 

The palate is very clean, fruity and acidic in fine balance. The tannins are soft and fully integrated. It is velvety and elegant. The finish is long and complex. 

It is perfectly mature and lovely to drink now. It paired perfectly with tenderloin of Norwegian Wagyu.

Deilig duft av modne frukt og tobakk
 Meget rund,  ingen snerping i slutten og lær/røyk. Høy alkoholsmak og lang finish
