The wine

Description and technical sheet

The Flaccianello di Fontodi is made from 100% Sangiovese grapes grown in the Panzano area of Chianti, a district of Greve in Chianti, in the province of Florence. For this proud Tuscan red, alcoholic fermentation started spontaneously in stainless steel tanks through the action of indigenous yeasts, and included a 21-day maceration period with the grape skins. Malolactic fermentation, which softened the wine’s aromatic and structural edges, occurred in wood. Before release, Flaccianello della Pieve Colli della Toscana Centrale Rosso by Fontodi was aged for 24 months in Troncais and Allier barriques, followed by an additional 10 months in bottle.

FLACCIANELLO FONTODI: TASTING NOTES

Flaccianello della Pieve by Fontodi presents an intense ruby red color. On the nose, it reveals aromas of cherry and ripe red fruit, combined with hints of cloves and oriental spices, and subtle notes of graphite. On the palate, it is balanced and elegant, supported by a fine and polished tannic structure and a gentle freshness that merges with exciting minerality, persisting in the long finish. It pairs well with aged cheeses and structured dishes of red meat or game.
