"The 1986 Flaccianello della Pieve is a big, deep wine endowed with tremendous depth for its age. There is an element of austerity in the 1986, but otherwise it is a strong wine. Worn-in leather, dusty red cherries, mint, spices, dried flowers, licorice and tar inform the juicy finish."

Italy grows more indigenous grape varieties than any other country and produces wine in all 20 of its regions. From Piedmont's Nebbiolo to Tuscany's Sangiovese, its finest wines pair structure and bright acidity with a strong sense of place.
The heartland of Sangiovese, producing Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino and the Cabernet-influenced 'Super Tuscans' of the coast. Its wines balance bright acidity, savory structure and cellar-worthiness.
