It is interesting to compare the Flaccianello with the Vigna del Sorbo. Here the oak influence is greater, which flattens some of the aromatic complexity, at least today, in favor of more textural sweetness and softness. The 2008 possesses terrific overall balance, length and harmony. This is a mid-weight style of Flaccianello with excellent acidity and bright prospects for developing in the bottle.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e 92 points.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Verdana\" size=\"2\"\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Verdana\" size=\"1\"\u003eJames Suckling, jamessuckling.com\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Verdana\" size=\"2\"\u003eThe pureness of fruit is so intense here. It’s also so clean and beautiful. The wine shows fabulous aromas of flowers, blueberries, and raspberries. It’s full-bodied, with chocolate, licorice, and plums. The texture is very velvety.
