The Flaccianello delle Pieve di Fontodi is positioned among the top of Tuscan wines, offering a truly extraordinary taste experience. Its intense ruby ​​red color, with garnet reflections, is just the beginning of a unique sensorial journey.

This wine stands out for its rich and enveloping aroma, characterized by dark berries such as ripe cherries, currants, blueberries and blackberries. Accents of undergrowth, leather, vanilla and light spices help to create a complex and engaging bouquet. In the mouth it is robust, with ripe tannins that support a range of full and ripe aromas, culminating in a fresh and persistent finish.

It goes beautifully with dishes such as roast beef, game and mature cheeses.
