2017 Fontodi Flaccianello della Pieve
Price per Btl. The 2017 Fontodi Flaccianello della Pieve is a distinguished expression of Sangiovese, hailing from the heart of Tuscany's Chianti Classico region. Crafted exclusively from estate-grown Sangiovese grapes, this wine embodies the essence of the Conca d'Oro, a sun-drenched amphitheater of vineyards near Panzano. The 2017 vintage presents a deep ruby hue and an aromatic profile rich in dark cherry, plum, violet, and a subtle hint of spice. On the palate, it offers a harmonious balance of ripe fruit flavors, vibrant acidity, and refined tannins, culminating in a persistent and elegant finish. Fontodi's commitment to quality is evident in their meticulous vineyard practices and state-of-the-art winemaking facilities. Since acquiring the estate in 1968, the Manetti family has transformed Fontodi into one of Chianti Classico's most respected producers. Under the guidance of Giovanni Manetti and consulting oenologist Franco Bernabei, Fontodi has embraced organic and biodynamic principles, ensuring that each bottle reflects the unique terroir of their vineyards. The Flaccianello della Pieve, first produced in 1981, stands as a testament to their dedication to excellence and innovation in winemaking.
