The wine

Description and technical sheet

The Flaccianello di Fontodi is obtained from 100% Sangiovese grapes grown in the territory of Panzano in Chianti, a hamlet 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 phase of the must in contact with the skins. The malolactic fermentation, which softened the aromatic and structural edges of the wine, took place instead in wood. Before commercialization, the Flaccianello di FontodiFlaccianello from Pieve Colli della Toscana Centrale Rosso di Fontodi matured for 24 months in Troncais and Alliers oak barrels and for an additional 10 months in the bottle.

FLACCIANELLO FONTODI: TASTING NOTES

The Flaccianello di FontodiFlaccianello from Pieve by Fontodi presents itself with an intense ruby red color. On the nose, it expresses scents of cherry and ripe red fruit that are combined with hints of cloves, oriental spices, and subtle notes of graphite. The palate is balanced and elegant, supported by a fine and smooth tannic texture and a gentle freshness that combines with an exciting minerality that lingers in the long finish. It pairs well with aged cheeses as well as with earthy dishes based on red meats or game.
