Wine.com : « Red Wine by Fontodi from Tuscany, Italy. #8 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2010 Flaccianello combines all the wild and old-world characteristics of the Sangiovese grape with the modern vinification techniques of what may be the top winemaking house in Tuscany today. The wine is like a taming and training of a beautiful black mustang stallion that has spent just enough time in the wild to retain its fiery disposition. It opens up with brambly notes of berries and currants, cloves, lavender, violets and a hint of bittersweet chocolate. I wonder at the grace of the wine as I delight in the first sip that is supple and cool on the mouth but full of warm flavors that light up the palate with bright notes of cherries and strawberries, tempered with touches of earthy leather and cherry-nut chutney. The wine crashes into the mid-palate on a wave of currants, blackberries, and more, riper straw-berries as it balances itself at the same time on pure tannins and pinch or two of new, vanilla oak. The finish?oh the finish?Well made Sangiovese never disappoints and the Flaccianello rolls on and on seemingly forever. Finally it fades with light herbal notes?a hint of mint?a dash of licorice basil?then it's gone like a shooting star winking out in the night sky. »

Robert Parker : « The 2006 La Querciolaia (Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese) is a huge wine.
Blackberries, grilled herbs, graphite, menthol and tar are just some of
the notes that flow from this massive Tuscan red. It shows fabulous
balance and tons of potential for those who can be patient. »
