The 2017 Flaccianello della Pieve is fabulous. Dark, sensual and enveloping, this vintage captures the essence of the house style in its textural richness and baritone inflections. Black cherry, plum, spice, new leather, liquorice and chocolate infuse the wine with tremendous richness. The 2017 spent 18 months in barrique followed by 6 months in cask, the same aging regime as the Vigna del Sorbo, but with a bit more new oak. That approach worked very well, as the Flaccianello stands out for its exceptional textural elegance and finesse. It is a positively stellar wine.
