    Producer

    The Fontodi vineyard stretches across gentle slopes, enjoying optimal sun exposure. The soils are primarily clay-limestone, perfect for Sangiovese, which thrives in these conditions. The vines, averaging 30 years old, are cultivated using organic and biodynamic methods, respecting the local ecosystem. This approach allows for the production of high-quality grapes, rich in aromas and flavors, while preserving the terroir's biodiversity. Each plot is carefully managed to reflect Fontodi's unique identity.

    Owner and history

    The Manetti family, who have led Fontodi since its inception, embody a passion for winemaking and a deep love for the land. Their values ​​are reflected in their commitment to sustainable practices and a handcrafted approach to winemaking. By combining tradition and innovation, they have made Fontodi a benchmark estate in Tuscany. Their vision is to produce wines that tell the story of their land, offering wine lovers a truly sensory experience with every tasting.

    Vinification and aging

    The winemaking process for Flaccianello delle Pieve is meticulous, beginning with the hand-harvesting of grapes at optimal ripeness. After rigorous sorting, the grapes are destemmed before fermenting in stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation takes place in oak barrels, adding complexity and roundness to the wine. Aging, which lasts approximately 18 months, occurs in French oak barrels, allowing the wine to develop subtle aromas of vanilla and wood. This attention to detail at every stage ensures a perfect balance between power and elegance, characteristic of great Tuscan wines.
