The 1997 Flaccianello della Pieve wraps around the palate with endless layers of dark fruit... Dark red berries, pomegranate, spices, smoke, licorice, anise and rose petals burst from the glass with notable energy, power and grace. Even with all of its intensity, the 1997 is beautifully balanced from start to finish. This racy, full-bodied Flaccianello can be enjoyed today or cellared for up to a decade.

An old favorite. Class Sangio goodness that delivers every time. The ‘97 is fully mature but maintains some youthful vibrancy.

Fully mature. Fruit here is beginning its decline. Cherry, leather, tart. Delicious.
