Flaccianello della Pieve is one of Italy's most sought-after wines. It is powerful, fleshy and ages beautifully. Ripe dark cherries, violets and plums, complemented by a hint of spice are apparent on the nose. The palate is typically rich, and full complemented by racy acidity and characteristically fine, supple tannins.
Flaccianello is made from a selection of the best grapes from the best parts of the Fontodi vineyards, located on the top of a hill at 480 metres of altitude. The soil here is classic 'galestro', the schistous clay on which the Sangiovese grape produces its best results.
Though the Manetti family has owned Fontodi since 1968, they have lived in Chianti for centuries, producing some of Italy’s finest terracotta at their factory in Ferrone. The same attention to detail afforded to their terracotta has been reflected at Fontodi over the past 50 years, transforming a crumbling farmhouse with a few hectares of vineyard into one of Chianti Classico’s most impressive estates.
