Fontodi's oldest vines go into the flagship Flaccianello. Aging takes place in 100% new French barrique. The mastery of integrating this wood has earned Fontodi the respect of traditional-leaning collectors for decades.

It's not often that I find myself reaching for the more modern examples of Sangiovese, but without a doubt, Flaccianello is where to turn for Chianti at its most stately and refined. The track record of Flaccianello in the cellar is legendary. Today, bottles from the '80s are fresh, offering thrilling drinking experiences.
