Fracassi's IGP Chianina from Rassina to your home.

The idea of bringing fresh meat from Simone Fracassi throughout our country thanks to Spaghetti&Mandolino came during a beautiful event held in Verona, focusing on the promotion of Chianina IGP. When we requested to start a substantial collaboration that would allow everyone to savor this delicacy for all palates, Simone responded with a “Tuscan” yes, meaning without many words!
 

And thus the project is set to launch on November 20th. Two packages of Chianina IGP meat containing not only the legendary Florentina but also other cuts. Because as Simone always says, “no Tuscan butcher lives on Florentina alone…” This means that from one cow (oh yes, it's called a cow, not a heifer!) only 6 or 7 cuts are obtained, and what about the rest? So we decided to offer a 5 kg package and a 10 kg package at an exceptional price. 

The meat will be cut directly by Simone and vacuum-packed by him!
A unique and inimitable guarantee of quality. Simone is recognized as one of the most refined and substantial butchers in Italy, a purist and a sensitive promoter of his land in Casentino. A man who does not compromise and “shoots” against those who use meats from other countries and then pass them off as Chianina. In short: ONE OF OURS!

Simone Fracassi is Italy's butcher of Chianina IGP. He defines himself as the man of meat! For everyone, he is the one who manages to amaze you every time with his extraordinary meat. A life spent between quarters, halves, and plenty of meat. An adventure that takes place in the village of Rassina in the ancestral and wild territory of the Casentino Forests. We are in the province of Arezzo, and Simone is a substantial ambassador of this territory. An excellent communicator, he has brought Chianina to all the most prestigious international stages. Fracassi is a distinctive brand of Tuscan and Italian quality. An example of the value of ancient artisan shops that remains intact. His passion is evident in his eyes that light up when discussing Chianina, all of Chianina IGP, not just the Florentina.

Simone has taught us that a Chianina butcher does not live solely on Florentina, but on everything that can be obtained from it. And here comes the Malenca, ground meat, tagliata, mixed boiled meat, Nero di Chianina, Bianco di Chianina, stews, tripe, hamburgers... in short, Simone teaches us to value the entire cow. His cows, among other things, have noble origins. They are raised, in every sense, in the pastures of Michelangelo's homeland. In Cortese Michelangelo, in fact, there is the barn with Chianinas that are raised only with selected forage according to ancient Tuscan customs. Simone Fracassi has managed over time to build a strong group of great taste artisans who gather every year at one of the most important Italian gourmet events. Capolavori a Tavola is an event held in June that showcases the best of Italian cuisine but, above all, provides an opportunity for Fracassi to carry out important charitable actions for Italian volunteer associations. 

Beneath the untamed, wild Arezzo attire lies a gentle soul that captivates you with the exceptional quality of products that tell the story of all Fracassi's passion and great professionalism. His meat isn’t just eaten, it’s savored, becoming a ritual where pleasure fills the senses and makes you dream. Simone is a courageous man who has invested a lot even in difficult situations, like the grand project for the black pig of Aspromonte, giving hope to many young breeders in the lands of Calabria. We are truly honored by his presence on Spaghetti&Mandolino. It gives us the ability to build gastronomic culture through one of the most important interpreters of Italian cult food.
