Truly excellent 'entry level' Brunello; muscular and richly-flavoured, as it should be. Not fancy but proper.

Warm and ripe on the nose with black fruits and savoury, meaty characters. The palate has concentrated plummy fruit and notes of toasty oak. The firm structure is balanced by the richness and intensity of the fruit, and vibrant acidity gives a sustained, chalky, and balanced finish.

The Vineyard

Winemaker Giuseppe Losapio founded Azienda Uggiano in the early
1970s, and steadily developed the estate at San Vincenzo a Torri. It is
now one of the leading producers in the Chianti Colli Fiorentini zone.

With 100 hectares of hillside vineyards (in both Colli Fiorentini and
around neighbouring Chianti Classico, near San Casciano), Uggiano
produces classic and classy Tuscan reds from the region's principal
grape varieties. A core of quality runs through an unfussy, practical
and exceptionally well-priced range, from bright entry level Chianti to
some impressive Riserva wines.

In 2015, the Losapio family sold the company to Uggiano’s young but
experienced management team, including commercial manager Giacomo
Fossati and Daniele Prosperi, winemaker for the past 12 vintages.After crushing, grapes undergo temperature-controlled fermention in
stainless steel tanks using selected yeasts. The must is pumped over the
skins twice a day to extract colour and tannin. After 18-22 days the
wine is racked to large Slavonian oak casks, where it matures for the
next 36 months.
