Flaccianello della Pieve
฿฿฿
Rated 98/100 by Wine Advocate (top 4% of their reviews).
From our sommelier team
A 100% Sangiovese from a single vineyard in Panzano's Conca d'Oro amphitheater, showing sour cherry and dark plum, dried herbs and tobacco leaf with the characteristic savory, almost balsamic spice of great Chianti-country Sangiovese — full-bodied but not heavy, built to age.
Signature pairings
- Bistecca alla Fiorentina or grilled ribeye — The traditional regional pairing — Sangiovese's bright acidity and firm tannin cut through the fat of grilled Tuscan beef, and neither element needs Thai spice to work.
- Braised pork belly or Thai stewed pork leg (khao kha mu, mild) (ข้าวขาหมู (ไม่เผ็ดจัด)) — Sangiovese's savory, herbal, tomato-adjacent acidity can complement slow-braised pork with soy and five-spice, provided the dish isn't pushed into heavy chili heat, which would fight the wine's tannin.
- Aged pecorino or hard sheep's cheese — A classic regional match — the wine's tannin and dried-herb character stand up well to salty, aged sheep's-milk cheese.
Fontodi Flaccianello della Pieve is a single-varietal Sangiovese expression from Chianti Classico, Tuscany. The 2020 vintage showcases the classic profile of this noble Italian grape: bright red cherry and plum on the nose, layered with violet florals and herbaceous notes. The palate reveals medium-full body with medium-high tannins and acidity, delivering a food-friendly structure that balances ripe fruit with mineral precision and subtle spice. Earthy undertones and emerging leather complexity suggest aging potential, positioning this wine as both an approachable current release and a candidate for medium-term cellaring.
