I'vd had The Mascot 2018 a number of occasions. The wine is simply "Fantastic." It is delicate yet bold with red fruit characteristics. Yet you find this simplicity about it, delicate and soft to the palate.

Fontodi 2012 Flaccianello della Pieve Toscana IGT Italy 1.5L Magnum
97 Points Vinous • 94+ Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate • 94 Points James Suckling
Gambero Rosso Tre Bicchieri
The Fontodi 2012 Flaccianello della Pieve Toscana IGT 1.5L Magnum is an exceptional Super Tuscan crafted from 100% Sangiovese in the heart of Chianti Classico. Produced by the renowned Fontodi estate in Panzano's celebrated Conca d'Oro amphitheater, Flaccianello della Pieve is one of Tuscany's most prestigious and collectible wines, combining remarkable concentration, elegance, and aging potential.
The 2012 vintage delivers complex aromas of dried dark fruit, black cherry, prune, black licorice, balsamic herbs, rosemary, and scorched earth. On the palate, layers of concentrated fruit and savory spice unfold with impressive richness, firm tannins, and a dense, powerful texture. The warm, dry growing season produced naturally reduced yields, resulting in a deeply concentrated Sangiovese with exceptional depth and structure.
Aged in French oak barrels, this highly acclaimed Super Tuscan offers outstanding complexity and long-term cellaring potential. The 1.5L Magnum format makes this an especially desirable bottle for collectors, special occasions, and extended aging.
