Had this over a year ago, still tasting great. Located in the heart of Chianti Classico in the valley which lies south of the town of Panzano, called the "Conca d’Oro" (the golden shell) because of its amphitheatre shape. Aged for 12 months in oak, big ripe berry aromas & spicy notes. On the palate dark berry flavors, some sweet currants, cacao and oak. Well balanced with soft smooth tannins, lingering ending with smoky tones. Nice! Grab a bottle if you find one! — 5 years ago

Very cleanly made Chianti with an enjoyable freshness to the bright red cherry and bitter fruit pit flavors. Wished for a little more aromatically, but that’s a small complaint. This is quite tasty on its own and with food. — 6 years ago

Opened about two hours prior to service and allowed to breathe. Two bottles were opened tonight from the same cellar and both corks showed some saturation but only through the first 1/3. No formal notes. The 1999 Flaccianello pours a youthful ruby color with a slightly garnet rim and some signs of sediment though nothing I would describe as unusual. This is an absolutely delightful Flaccianello that I would still describe as “developing”. A mix of red and dark fruits with dried herbs, black tea, espresso, leathe and dried earth. The tannins are still firm and the acid is zippy yet everything is in perfect balance and well integrated. This was paired with a deconstructed BLT highlighting the produce from local area farms and salmon rillettes with turnips, fennel and orange. I don’t have a lot of experience with Flaccianello (or Fontodi for that matter) but this is a wonderful representation of Chianti Classico (although not designated such) and if the two bottles opened tonight are representative, this vintage has a lot left in the tank! Drink now with a little air to stretch its legs and over the next 10-15 years, no cap. — 9 months ago

One of the best out of this small batch vineyard in Chianti. Fresh fruit, smooth tongue and finish, sharp Sangiovese grape in the middle — 6 years ago

A cab from the land of Chianti. At 10 years old the mineral flavors rule the roost with few tannins left over. Probably the perfect time to drink it. — 6 years ago

A wonderful DOC Sauvignon Blanc that you would not expect from the heart of Classico Chianti appellate. It's "old world" bouquet of redolent flowers, gentle passion fruit and a touch of earth make it distinct from what you would experience in a "new world" Sauvignon Blanc. It's creamy taste, hints of vanilla and fresh acidity reflects it's time in both oak and stainless steel. Visualize yourself being at a Tuscany villa looking out at the vineyard eating a light Italian meal on a warm day and you will taste this wine. Cheers — 7 years ago
