Description Sub Region Producer Notes
 
This represents the debut offering of the 2006 Flaccianello from IWM and one of the first in the country. It is difficult to imagine this wine surpassing the performance from the 2004 and 2005 vintage. The two vintages remain among the fastest selling wines at IWM to date. But Fontodi, and the estate's proprietor Giovanni Manetti, have done it again. And like the 2004, the recent release is unquestionably a wine of longevity—the thick layers of rich black and red fruit make this wine deceivingly approachable, but it is just a tease of what is to come. It already conveys impressive elegance, offsetting its 14% alcohol level with qualities that have yet to reveal themselves. While the 2006 may not be as approachable today, it is a wine to watch and the standout Sangiovese of the vintage. Our recommendation is to cellar this wine another ten years before uncorking.  Drink 2012-2025.
