Dante Alighieri

Its symbol is Dante Alighieri, as portrayed in Giotto's fresco dated 1336-1337 and whose image is part of the emblem of "La Casa di Dante Alighieri" Museum in Florence. This portrait, displayed on our label, is a privilege granted to us by the Florentine Museum as testimony to the quality of our wine. Chianti Colli Fiorentini DOCG, with Chianti Riserva DOCG "The Pheasant", the Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon based Supertuscans represent the highest expression of Uggiano's winemaking tradition as well as being the symbols of its success.

Food pairing

Flavorful pasta dishes, grilled meats, wild game and cheeses.

Tasting notes

It is a light-hearted, genuine and well-balanced dry red wine with a bright ruby red colour and a fruity, intense and spicy bouquet. Suitable for everyday meals, but also for special occasions. Chianti Colli Fiorentini Uggiano is a wine made primarily from Sangiovese grapes (90%) along with small percentages of both autochthonous grapes such as Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo, Mammolo and Cabernet Sauvignon (10%).

Ageing

Ageing in 30/60 HL traditional big oak casks for 6-8 months. Storage in stainless steel tanks until bottling and refining in bottle for at least 6-8 months.

Estate

The Uggiano winery was founded in the early 70's in the Castle of Montespertoli by a group of businessmen from Bergamo sharing a great passion for Tuscan wines and inspired by French-school enologist Dr. Giuseppe Losapio. In 1976 the cellars of the Uggiano winery were enlarged and relocated to San Vincenzo a Torri in proximity of the Pesa river valley, among monasteries, churches, villas and country houses which so epitomise the history and Tuscan tradition.

Vineyard

The vineyards spread over rolling hillsides at an altitude of 250 to 300 meters between the Tuscan villages of Montespertoli, Montelupo Fiorentino and San Casciano in Val di Pesa.

Winemaking

The wine is fermented for 10-15 days in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks.
