This retrospective gave me the opportunity to taste the excellent 2015 vintage side by side with the highly anticipated 2016 vintage. These two years are famously in a tight race across Tuscany for supremacy. I'm ready to tip my hat at 2016. In comparison, the 2015 Flaccianello della Pieve is slightly broader in the shoulders and heavier in the gait. There is more meat on these bones, and the 2015 vintage presented vintners with near-perfect growing conditions in which one textbook part of the vegetative cycle transitioned directly to the next. The wine is dark, exuberant and profound, and the quality of the tannins is superb, fine and firm. One difference with the 2016 vintage is that the 2015 is a tad more accessible and ready. You can wait and cellar it for thirty years, or pop the cork sooner if you don't have the patience to wait.

About this wine

Tuscany

Tuscany, the picturesque wine region in central Italy, is known for its beautiful landscapes, historic cities and, not least, excellent wines. This area, which includes cities such as Florence and Siena, has a winemaking tradition that dates back to antiquity. Tuscany is famous for its robust red wines, especially those made from the Sangiovese grape, which thrives in the sunny climate and varied soils.
