Description

Fontodi is a certified organic estate located in the heart of Chianti Classico precisely in the valley which lies south of the town of Panzano and is called the “Conca d’Oro” (the golden shell) because of its amphitheatre shape. This genuine Terroir has been famous for centuries for its tradition of quality wine cultivation, thanks to a unique combination of high altitude, calcar clayschist soil, lots of light, and a fantastic micro-climate – warm and dry with a marked difference in day and night- time temperatures. 100% Sangiovese… Top shelf

“The 2012 Flaccianello della Pieve, a selection of the estate’s best fruit, presents a darker, more virile expression of Sangiovese.  Here, too, the purity of the flavours is truly striking.  Cinnamon, cloves, new leather, licorice and plums are some of the notes that soar from the glass.  The 2012 is full-bodied and voluptuous, in classic Flaccianello style, but the new French oak is much better integrated than it often is at this stage, the result of a move to lower toast levels over the last few years. This is one of the finest young Flaccianellos I can remember.  Simply put, the 2012 Flaccianello is a real stunner.  Wow!”  97 points – Antonio Galloni, vinousmedia.com
