The 2019 Flaccianello della Pieve is another stunning wine that sums up the character of the vintage and reflects the sun-drenched beauty of its quintessentially Tuscan surroundings. Giovanni Manetti and his team have two new important wines in the works, but Flaccianello remains an old love and a wine that hits the highest marks for quality consistency vintage after vintage. I tasted this wine next to the 100-point 2016 vintage for friendly comparison, and perhaps the main difference is that the tannins are finer and more accessible in this bottle. It offers rich concentration and layers of dark fruit that wrap thickly over the senses. Tannin management is an active pursuit. Time in barrique has been reduced over the years in favor of a final six-month resting period in larger oak casks. In fact, the barrel room was recently enlarged to give more room to these bigger vessels. The 2019 vintage recalls the balance of 2001 with the freshness of 2013. However, 2019 is more profound.

99 /100

Bright ruby red in colour. On the nose, subtle cranberry, some cherry and a noble savouriness; overall, it holds back. On the palate, tightly and densely woven yet very polished, very juicy in the course, very long and punchy on the finish. Finishes on slightly earthy notes and will age excellently.

Falstaff

Sangiovese

Sangiovese er Italiens mest plantede druesort og hjertet i Toscanas store rødvine – en drue, der formår at balancere saftige kirsebærtoner med rank syre, faste tanniner og en tydelig jordbundet elegance. Dens historiske forankring i Centralitalien, især Toscana, har gjort den til den bærende drue i klassikere som Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino og Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, hvor terroiret træder klart frem i glasset.

Smagen bevæger sig fra sursøde røde kirsebær og sorte stenfrugter til mere urtekrydret udtryk med strejf af tomatblad og tørrede urter; lagring på eg kan give et fyldigere udtryk med noter af blomme og vilde hindbær. Strukturelt kendes Sangiovese for høj syre og faste tanniner, hvilket giver både friskhed, madvenlighed og flot lagringspotentiale.

Sangiovese er samtidig en drue med stor klonal og regional variation, hvilket forklarer, hvorfor kvalitet og stil kan variere fra rank, stenet Chianti til dybt struktureret Brunello. Uden for Toscana findes markante udtryk i bl.a. Emilia‑Romagna, Umbrien og Marche, og i den nye verden eksperimenterer enkelte producenter med stilarter, der fremhæver druens syre og fine bitterhed
