Fontodi Flaccianello 1993 - 3l OWC

Fontodi’s Flaccianello is one of Tuscany’s most respected Sangiovese-based wines, and this 1993 release captures the elegance and depth that made it a benchmark in Chianti Classico. Produced from 100% Sangiovese grown in the hills of Panzano in Chianti, it offers the kind of structure, purity, and character collectors look for in a great Tuscan red.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows an intense ruby-red color with impressive depth. The bouquet is complex and layered, unfolding with ripe red and dark fruits, spice, and leather, alongside the earthy nuance that gives mature Sangiovese its signature charm. On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, with bright acidity supporting the fruit and adding energy to the wine’s mature profile. The finish is long and persistent, and while it is already expressive, this is a wine with the structure to continue developing gracefully over several more years.

Production
Flaccianello comes from the hills of Panzano in Chianti, where the vineyard sites benefit from Tuscany’s warm days, cool nights, and well-drained soils that help Sangiovese achieve both ripeness and freshness. The grapes are carefully harvested to preserve quality and character, then vinified in a way that highlights the grape’s natural intensity, balance, and age-worthy structure.

Food & Serving
This wine is an excellent match for rich, savory dishes such as game, roasted or grilled beef, braised meats, and mature cheeses. Serve it at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting the wine before serving to allow its aromas and texture to open fully, especially given its age and complexity.

Producer
Fontodi is a highly regarded estate in the heart of Chianti Classico, closely associated with the Panzano subzone and with a long-standing reputation for producing some of Tuscany’s most expressive Sangiovese wines. The winery is known for its dedication to quality and for helping establish Flaccianello as one of the region’s standout wines, earning recognition among collectors and serious red-wine enthusiasts alike.
