Fontodi’s Toscana IGT Flaccianello della Pieve 2016 is one of the most representative and well-known labels in the Chianti Classico area and throughout Tuscany.

Born from the selection of the best grapes from the entire property and aged for 24 months in Troncais and Allier barriques. The result is a rich, powerful Sangiovese with a dense tannic texture. This is the flagship bottle of the company, the most renowned and loved one; a splendid bottle to drink immediately or forget in the cellar for a few years.

Fontodi is a certainty, always. The Flaccianello della Pieve is his best creation.

The Fontodi farm was purchased by the Manetti family in 1968. Its location – right in the center of the Chianti Classico appellation, with south facing vineyards, soils rich in marl, in the beautiful natural amphitheater that is the Conca d’oro di Panzano in Chianti at about 400 m asl – is dominant.

The management has been organic for many years now; there is even a small group of Chianine from which the base of the fertilizer is obtained to fertilize the vines. Some old vines from the 60s and 70s are still in production, but most have been replaced by high-density vineyards whose plants derive both from mass selection and from the best clones that emerged during the Chianti Classico 2000 project.

The relatively recent construction of the new winery is perfectly equipped and works according to the principles of gravity which eliminates the need for pumping. Everything has been thought and designed to make the best wines possible.
