The Flaccianello della Pieve is an incredible red wine that has acquired nobility in recent decades, it is produced by Fontodi in the splendid Panzano in Chianti, a stone’s throw from Cecchini, whose Chianina is a perfect combination with this wonder oenological. Not so much oenological because in the vineyard the approach is biodynamic/organic and in the cellar rather poorly interventionist. The grapes are carefully selected and ferment spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in steel tanks where they macerate for 3 weeks. Aged for 24 months in non-first passage barriques, it is bottled with a homeopathic dose of sulfur dioxide, and rests in glass for a few months. Flaccianello della Pieve releases highly evolved aromatic scents, then dark spices and balsamic notes. In the mouth it is wonderful, warm and enveloping, very long and refined.

️ 13%
The grapes are harvested and selected manually, spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts and maceration for 3 weeks in steel, aging for 24 months in oak, bottled with homeopathic doses of sulfur dioxide, resting in glass a few months before put on the market
Complex with very evolved but lively notes of red fruits in jam and dried red flowers, the spices are dark and the balsamic green references, earthy and liquorice memories
Bewitching and enveloping, the tannin is noble, like the land from which it comes and the very long finish, like the sunset over the Conca d’Oro
Serving temperature 16°-18°
