  The Wine Advocate
  "The Fontodi 2021 Flaccianello della Pieve opens to a medium-dark inky appearance and solid aromas of black fruit and pressed blackberry. The Flaccianello is a touch more accessible at this early stage compared to the Vigna del Sorbo, but both wines are undoubtedly built to withstand ample cellar aging. Flaccianello is the more powerful or the two, and the Vigna del Sorbo is more delicate in comparison. These dueling character traits are especially evident in this classic 2021 vintage. This wine also boasts a more generous mouthfeel supported by softly integrated tannins."

  Falstaff
  "Kraftvolles Rubin mit leichtem Violettschimmer. Sehr ansprechende und intensive Nase, zeigt Noten nach Brombeere und Maulbeere, etwas Orangenschale, im Hintergrund etwas Milchschokolade und heller Tabak. Geschliffen und präzise am Gaumen, zeigt viel feinmaschiges Tannin, salzig und mit langem Nachhall."

  Wine Spectator
  " 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. Best from 2027 through 2045. 3,200 cases made, 1,400 cases imported."

  James Suckling
  "A young red with black cherry, flint, matchstick, blackberry and bark aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied with a solid core of fruit and chewy tannins that show a slightly angular mouthfeel in the finish. From organically grown grapes. Needs three or four years to soften."

  Decanter
  "A blend from three parcels of organically grown grapes at the Fontodi estate in Panzano, this 100% Sangiovese wine is still incredibly youthful as you would expect, but beneath the muscular, powerful structure, you can already discern a solid core of dark briary fruit, plus notes of coffee and cocoa-dusted cherries. Silky tannins and freshening acidity balance the density and innate power. A great wine from a great vintage for Tuscan red."
