  (Fontodi Flaccianello della Pieve Colli della Toscana Centrale IGT) Very dark red violet color; nice ripe berry, blackberry, berry liqueur nose; tasty, rich, plush, wild berry, blackberry palate with depth and firm, sweet tannins; needs 4-5 years; long finish (100% Sangiovese; already tastes so much more appealing than when I tried it at a trade tasting a few months ago)

  (Flaccianello (signed/personalized) 3.0lt) Flaccianello et al Dear Friends, In classic retailer speak, I'm about to tell you the 2007 vintage (at the high end) is as good or better at Fontodi than the 2006. Considering the 2006’s were among the highest rated wines in all of Italy last year (including for the 2006 Flaccianello and for the 2006 Vigna del Sorbo), that statement sounds a bit tenuous and contrived. It isn’t. I should let Giovanni Manetti (the owner of Fontodi) do the talking for me but he prefers to do the signing. He’s so sure of 2007’s prowess, he’s agreed to sign and personalize large format bottles of 2007 Flaccianello expressly for you – that’s downright unheard of in the wine trade. In other words, he’s going to take the time to personalize each 3.0lt bottle with a note to you on the label – whether you’re Mr. Smith, Mr. Harper, Ms. Jones, etc, you will get a personal note from Giovanni (with your name) thanking you for your patronage. In truth, this is a thank you for the support we’ve (you’ve) given Fontodi over the years. There’s no catch, no gimmick, no ulterior motive – he just wants to do something special that will be remembered and appreciated by our audience. He is not extending this offer to anyone else. So, if your own unique and giant 3.0lt bottle of Flaccianello sounds appealing, please let us know at your earliest convenience. I cannot publish the price (as per Giovanni’s request, but we have special pricing for one day on all three wines below) - you can email Niki and she will give you the price list ( niki@garagistewine.com ). The only catch from our end is that Giovanni is doing all the signatures/notes this weekend so this offer has to be confirmed by tomorrow night (in other words, we need to know if you would like any of the below by tomorrow afternoon at the latest). VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEDED as a one-off opportunity to acquire a personalized centerpiece for your cellar or collection: 2007 Fontodi Flaccianello della Pieve 3.0lt (signed/personalized) - $ (please email Niki for the price: niki@garagistewine.com ) We also have... 2007 Fontodi Flaccianello della Pieve (750ml) (NOT signed) - $ (please email Niki for the price) ...and... 2007 Fontodi Vigna del Sorbo (750ml) (NOT signed) - $ (please email Niki for the price) To request prices and/or to order any of the above: niki@garagistewine.com All are set to depart from Panzano – all will arrive in the late Spring/early Summer (please check OARS for local pick up after July 1st). All will ship during the Fall shipping season. Out of state orders will be held for free under ideal storage conditions (56 degrees/70%humidity) until shipping is possible.
