Flaccianello della Pieve 1995

A late harvest, with picking that ended in the second half of October: it gave rise to a particularly gutsy Flaccianello, which initially wasn’t really understood. It now displays a rather intense bright garnet colour and inviting, very complex perfumes of extraordinary breadth. Its nose ranges from hints of violets to notes of tobacco, liquorice and nuances of freshly stewed sour cherries. Its flavour is forthright and elegant, almost aristocratic, with crisp acidity and some tannins in evidence. The finish is very long.
