The 2006 Flaccianello earned the honor of being the highest-rated wine in this year's tasting report on Tuscany. It's a pure Sangiovese produced from vines more than 30 years old, grown in the hillside vineyard of Flaccianello, near the town of Panzano in the Chianti Classico region. The Manetti family has owned this historic estate since 1968.
The 2006 was aged in Allier oak barrels for 18 months, then spent an additional year in
bottle before release.
