This very cellar-worthy Super Tuscan from Fontodi is made entirely from Sangiovese grown in vineyards within the Colli Toscana Centrale IGT, aged for two years in French oak casks.
750 mlThe 2021 vintage of Flaccianello is already considered a classic, garnering high scores from a wide variety of wine reviewers and magazines.
Here is one example from Wine Spectator's Bruce Sanderson (2021 Vintage)
"Featuring a deep well of blackberry, black cherry, violet, mineral and spices on the nose, this red is rich and dense, saturated with dark fruit flavors, yet with a sense of gracefulness. A light dusting of tannins frames the finish, needing a few years to integrate with the other components. Shows the harmony, freshness and depth of the vintage. Sangiovese..." 97 Points - reviewed in October 2024

The Val d’Orcia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2004, encircles the Podere Forte. The estate was founded in 1997 by Pasquale Forte, a visionary entrepreneur who has created a balanced system where every element complements the others, following the principles of organic and biodynamic agriculture. The old concept of the corte romana has been recreated on the 500-ha estate: a place where people, plants and animals coexist in harmony and sustainable self-sufficiency. Wine is the main focus, but Podere Forte is also synonymous with the breeding of Cinta Senese pigs, Chianina cattle and Suffolk sheep, as well as various other farm animals, all living on biodynamic feed. Podere Forte produces its own fertilizers and compost using vine prunings and fallen timber from the woods. The pigs eat acorns and chestnuts in the woods where they roam freely, the bees pollinate the flowers and aromatic herbs in the botanic garden where the hives are. The olive groves cover around 26 hectares and in 2020 production of the first varietal oil, from the Frantoio variety, started.

This historic property dates back to 1834, when it was owned by agronomist Giorgio Perrin, owner of Petrolo and member of the Accademia dei Gergofili of Florence. He celebrated Sangiovese and this land, especially a spot called Campo Asciutto (now Bòggina), explaining how it was common practice at the time to plant “French grapes” in Chianti to blend with Sangiovese, in soils that favour specific varietals. The estate was acquired in the 40s by the Bazzocchi family who followed the tradition of carefully producing high-quality wines with utter commitment. The characteristics of this area add to its value; the land of Petrolo, where vineyards, olive groves and woods coexist, living side by side, forming a rich ecosystem that contributes to the perfect balance between the different grape varieties. The vineyard extends for three ha and was planted in 1990 on soils with a higher concentration of clay. Galatrona is the first Merlot vineyard that Petrolo planted, and it, along with Sassacia, is Italy's equivalent to first-growth Bordeaux.
