Country of Origin: Toscana, Italy

Another well crafted, modern and approachable Chianti from the young team at Uggiano. A fresh, youthful style with nice depth of Sangiovese fruit and remarkable value.

The Sangiovese and Canaiolo grapes are sourced from Uggiano's vineyards - which stretch over the hillsides joining Montespertoli with Montelupo Fiorentino and San Casciano Val di Pesa.  The made wine is racked to large 30-60 hl oak casks for 6 months, with further refinement for at least 3 months in bottle.

Aromas of black cherry, bramble fruit and hints of violet. The palate has dark, ripe plum and berry fruit with supple tannins and a long, rounded finish.

Great with roast lamb with rosemary and garlic or game... especially pheasant or wild boar!
