Simone Fracassi. The man of meat.

Simone Fracassi is the man of meat. Yes, but the good kind, Tuscan from head to toe, IGP Chianina.

In Rassina, after crossing hills, woods, and vineyards, and the Casentino Forest National Park, you will arrive at a small square where you can admire a burgundy-colored sign that reads: Macelleria Fracassi. A vault of delicious things, the kingdom of Simone. The kingdom of IGP Chianina.

His meat is precious and sought after by all the greatest Italian chefs for its finesse and high quality, which is unmatched by other Italian butcher shops. The farm is located in the town of Cortese Michelangelo, the birthplace of the great Renaissance artist. It’s also an art form for Simone, who has long been the true ambassador of IGP Chianina.

With his extraordinary Tuscan wit and charming communication style, he wins people over, even behind a camera. His Thursday appearances with Clerici, explaining meat and its cuts, were a mix of charisma, passion, and vast experience.
Simone is a sensitive person with a heart of gold for those who know him well, and among his various activities, we cannot forget his work with young Calabrian farmers to bring hope back to a struggling economy, with the production of the legendary sausages made from the Black Pig of Aspromonte.

Telling the story of IGP Chianina means giving a voice to the many farmers and butchers like him who have chosen to remain faithful to a territory, to a millennial culture, and to the most noble Tuscan traditions. Simone also helps consumers recognize the authenticity of this prized meat, in a world where counterfeiting is common.

We leave you with the curiosity to try his top-quality meat and his sauces, tripe, and stews made from IGP Chianina.
You might wonder… what have we been eating until now?

Fresh IGP Chianina beef delivered straight from Simone in Rassina to your home.
Spaghetti e Mandolino has formed a wonderful partnership with Macelleria Fracassi. You can now order IGP Chianina beef prepared directly by Simone. An unmissable opportunity for meat lovers. We’re talking about works of art, not just steaks! As Simone always says: “Sure, but if you only ask me for a Chianina IGP Florentine steak, I won’t give it to you! What about the rest of the cow?”
That’s why Simone prepares two mixed IGP Chianina meat packages for us.

Two packages, the Casentino and the Cortese Michelangelo. Not just Florentine steaks, but also hamburgers, hand-cut tartare, mixed boiled meat, ground beef for ragù, and sliced steaks. A 5 kg pack and a 10 kg pack, all prepared by him, respecting the freshness of the product.
All orders are placed by Thursday, and then on Monday, Simone packages the orders and ships them. In less than a day, they arrive at your door. You can read all the details on the product pages. And we guarantee that Simone wanted to offer you a really special price for this initiative!

Simone’s Delicacies
Macelleria Fracassi is a vault of goodness. Simone wanted to jar the recipes his mother taught him. Sauces and other cooked delights made with IGP Chianina. Here’s the true Tuscan red sauce made with Chianti and IGP Chianina meat, with natural aromas from the Casentino Forests. Bay leaves, rosemary, sage, etc. Then there’s the most succulent and traditional Nero di Chianina IGP, for the typical Tuscan crostini. An irresistible delicacy. For those who love offal or the white parts of the animal, there’s the Bianco di Chianina IGP, with its intense and ancestral flavor. The IGP Chianina stew, a dive into the ancient traditions of the Tuscan lands, spicy and firm. And finally, the tripe. Yes, a treat, as Simone calls it.
And we’ll say no more.
