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 – Tuscany, Italy
97 Points Vinous • 94+ Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate • 94 Points James Suckling
Tre Bicchieri – Gambero Rosso
The Fontodi 2012 Flaccianello della Pieve is an exceptional Super Tuscan red wine from the renowned Fontodi estate in Panzano in Chianti, Tuscany, Italy. Crafted entirely from organically grown Sangiovese, this celebrated wine showcases the richness, elegance and remarkable aging potential that have made Flaccianello one of Italy's most sought-after collectible wines. Sourced from Fontodi's finest estate vineyards in the prestigious Conca d'Oro area, the 2012 vintage reflects the concentration and distinctive character of Tuscany's celebrated terroir.
The 2012 Flaccianello opens with captivating aromas of dark cherry, dried plum, blackberry and black licorice, complemented by layers of balsamic herbs, rosemary, sweet spice and scorched earth. The palate is rich and beautifully concentrated, delivering savory dark fruit, subtle tobacco, earthy minerality and complex herbal undertones. Firm, structured tannins and balanced acidity provide impressive depth and aging potential, leading to a long, sophisticated finish with lingering spice and savory complexity.
Crafted from 100% organically grown Sangiovese, the 2012 Flaccianello reflects Fontodi's meticulous approach to vineyard management and traditional Tuscan winemaking. The hot, dry growing season naturally reduced yields, producing grapes with exceptional concentration and intensity. Aged in French oak barrels, the wine develops additional richness and complexity while preserving the distinctive character of Sangiovese. With outstanding critical acclaim, including 97 Points Vinous and the prestigious Tre Bicchieri award from Gambero Rosso, this mature Super Tuscan is an outstanding choice for collectors and enthusiasts of fine Italian wine.
