2009 Flaccianello della Pieve, Tenuta Fontodi, Tuscany, Italy Size:75cl Francois Xavier Borie is nowThe 2009 Flaccianello della Pieve is a bit of a shock to the palate after 20+ older vintages. Still, it is impossible to miss the wines striking purity and finesse. Today the 2009 is a bit of a brute, but it should mellow out over the next 5 7 years as the tannins start to soften. Firm tannins frame layers of ripe, juicy fruit in this young, extroverted Flaccianello. Antonio Galloni Wine Advocate Issue#201 Jun 2012
