Fontodi is a family-owned organic estate in the heart of Chianti Classico, run by the Manetti family since 1968. Their Flaccianello della Pieve is made from 100% Sangiovese, sourced from Fontodi’s best vineyards in the “Conca d’Oro” - a high-altitude, amphitheater-shaped valley known for its calcareous clay and schist soils.
What the critics say:
"The 2015 Flaccianello della Pieve is a wine I loved on release. Today, after nearly ten years in bottle, the 2015 is still an infant. It shows all the natural concentration of the year, along with the slightly more potent, extracted style Fontodi was gradually evolving from at the time. The 2015 spent 18 months in French oak barrels and six months in cask, with some variation depending on the lots that were chosen for the final blend. As much as it pains me to say it, readers might still want to cellar this!"
