Macelleria Fracassi

Simone Fracassi is the Italian butcher of Chianina IGP. He calls himself the man with the fat!. For everyone, he is the one who manages to amaze you every time with his extraordinary flesh. A life between quarters, halves and a lot of fat. An adventure that takes place in the town of Rassina in the ancient and wild territory of the Casentino Forests. We are in the province of Arezzo and Simone is a substantial ambassador for 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 still remains intact. His passion passes all through eyes that light up when it comes to Chianina, the whole Chianina IGP, not just Fiorentina. Simone taught us that Chainina's butcher does not live on Fiorentina alone, but on everything that can be obtained from it. And here is the Malenca, the minced meat, the cut, the mixed boiled meat, the Nero di Chianina, the Bianco di Chianina, the stew, the tripe, the hamburger... in short, Simone teaches us to value the whole cow's body. Among other things, his cows are of noble origin. They are formed, in every sense, among the pastures of Michelangelo's hometown. In fact, in Cortese Michelangelo there is the stable with the Chianine that breeds only fodder selected according to ancient Tuscan customs. Over time, Simone Fracassi has managed to build a strong group of great artisans of taste who meet every year at one of the most important Italian gourmet events. Masterpieces at the Table is an event held in June and which offers the best of Italian cuisine but, above all, it offers Fracassi the opportunity to carry out important charitable actions for Italian voluntary associations. Underneath the indomitable and wild Arezzo dress hides a kind soul that enraptures you with the exceptional quality of products that tell all of Fracassi's passion and great professionalism. His meat is not eaten... it is tasted and becomes a ritual where pleasure fills the senses and makes us dream. Simone is a courageous man who has invested a lot even in difficult situations such as the great project for the Aspromonte black pig, giving hope to many young farmers in the lands of Calabria. We are truly honored by his presence on Spaghetti&Mandolino. It gives us the opportunity to build food and wine culture through one of the most important interpreters of Italian
