Fontodi Flaccianello 2018 is an authentic gem from Tuscany, a full-bodied red wine that embodies the elegance and winemaking tradition of the region. Made from carefully selected Sangiovese grapes, this wine comes from the hills of Chianti Classico, an area renowned for its rich history and breathtaking landscapes. The 2018 vintage, characterized by favorable weather conditions, allowed for perfect ripening of the grapes, giving the Flaccianello unparalleled complexity and depth of flavor.
In the glass, it showcases an intense ruby red color, dense and bright, which foreshadows the power and character of this wine. On the nose, it opens with a captivating bouquet of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and plums, accompanied by spicy notes of black pepper and tobacco, with a delicate background of leather and fine wood, resulting from aging in French oak barriques.
The palate is enveloping and elegant, with silky tannins that intertwine harmoniously with vibrant freshness. The finish is remarkable, leaving a lingering aftertaste of berries and a hint of dark chocolate that invites another sip. Flaccianello 2018 proves to be an extraordinary wine for special occasions, but also an ideal companion for red meat dishes, braised meats, or aged cheeses. It is a tasting experience that tells a story of passion, care, and respect for tradition in every sip.
