Flaccianello della Pieve 2013 – Domaine Fontodi: The Monument of Super Tuscans

Estate Presentation: The Excellence of Organic Sangiovese

Flaccianello della Pieve from Domaine Fontodi is one of the greatest masterpieces of Italian viticulture. Made from a rigorous selection of the finest Sangiovese grapes grown organically, this exceptional wine originates in the heart of the mythical "Conca d'Oro" of Panzano in Chianti. This exceptional natural amphitheater benefits from a privileged microclimate, dominated by the ancient church of San Leolino a Flacciano. Aged for 24 months in French oak barrels from Allier and Troncais, this 100% Sangiovese embodies the quintessence of the Tuscan terroir: power, elegance, and masterful freshness.
