2018 Flaccianello della Pieve - 100 Punkte Antonio Galloni - 1,5 Ltr Magnum Fontodi 50% merlot and 28% cabernet1,5 Ltr Magnum. Antonio Galloni 100 Punkte: The 2018 Flaccianello della Pieve is another stellar wine from Fontodi. It is the richest Flaccianello ever made (in terms of dry extract), with elevated acidity that trails the 2016 by just a touch, but it does not taste like that at all. Dark cherry, violet, lavender, spice, mocha and graphite build with a bit of time in the glass. Like the Sorbo, the 2018 Flaccianello is not a wine of size, as in most
