Fontodi Flaccianello 1994 - 3l OWC

Fontodi’s Flaccianello 1994 is a benchmark Tuscan red from the heart of Chianti Classico, presented here in an impressive 3L bottle that makes it especially suited to celebrations, gifting, or long-term cellaring. Made entirely from Sangiovese and matured in oak for 18 months, it reflects both the power and elegance that have made Fontodi one of Tuscany’s most respected names.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows an intense ruby-red colour that still speaks to the wine’s depth and concentration. The bouquet is layered and expressive, with ripe red and dark fruit, warm spices, and a distinctive leather note adding complexity and maturity. On the palate, it is full-bodied and supple, with beautifully integrated acidity that keeps the wine fresh and balanced. The finish is long and persistent, with enough structure to suggest excellent aging potential, especially in a large format like this 3L bottle, which can help preserve freshness for years to come.

Production
Flaccianello comes from the Chianti Classico zone in Tuscany, where Fontodi’s vineyards benefit from a privileged hillside terroir that favours slow, even ripening of Sangiovese. The grapes are carefully harvested and the wine is vinified with a focus on preserving varietal purity, followed by 18 months of oak maturation to build complexity, texture, and finesse.

Food & Serving
This is a natural match for hearty dishes such as game, roasted or grilled beef, braised meats, and mature cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for at least an hour to allow the wine’s aromatic depth and structure to open fully, especially if enjoyed now.

Producer
Fontodi is one of the most highly regarded producers in Chianti Classico, known for its commitment to quality and for expressing the character of Panzano’s terroir with precision and authenticity. The estate has earned a strong reputation for crafting serious, age-worthy wines, and Flaccianello is widely regarded as one of its most important and iconic bottlings.
