Fontodi Flaccianello della Pieve 2022

Fontodi Flaccianello della Pieve is a full-bodied, taut pure Sangiovese from the Conca d'Oro at Panzano, in the heart of Chianti Classico.

Back in 1981, when this wine was first made, the appellation rules still insisted on white grapes in the blend, so it went out as IGT Toscana and has stayed there. It comes from the oldest, best-sited parcels on galestro, the crumbly schist-like marl the grape loves. The Manetti family have run the certified organic estate since 1968. Fermentation is in wood and concrete, followed by around eighteen months in French barriques and a further rest in bottle.

Dark cherry, tobacco and a long savoury finish, with a decade or more in the cellar ahead of it. Open it at 17–18°C with bistecca, game or aged pecorino.
