About the Producer

The Azienda Uggiano was originally set up by a group of businessmen from Bergamo, northern Italy, with a passion for Tuscan wines and inspired by a wine expert from the French school, Giuseppe Losapio.

In 1976 the vineyard expanded and settled at San Vincenzo a Torri, a beautiful location in the heart of Tuscany, nestled in the countryside in the midst of monasteries, churches and country villas.

In 2015 three young partners, Giacomo Fossati, Fabio Martelli and Daniele Prosperi, took up the legacy of the founder and started driving the winery towards new, ambitious goals.

Today the company, by fully embracing advanced production technologies and multi-channelling, has not only brilliantly overcome the trading challenges brought about by the Covid pandemic, but has also established an ever growing presence in both the HO.RE.CA. channel and large-scale retail trade through dedicated product lines drawn from a broad range of products with excellent quality/price ratio. Uggiano is also robustly active in the fast expanding e-commerce sector.
Lastly, the company has made a large investment in the up-and-coming Tuscan area of Maremma by launching the “Tenuta Aquilaia” winery, an enthusiastically driven and innovative wine producing operation.

Vineyard

Located at altitudes of 250-300 metres, the vineyards of Azienda Uggiano stretch over the hillsides joining Montespertoli with Montelupo Fiorentino and San Casciano Val di Pesa.

Vinification

After crushing the grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks using selected yeasts. The fermentation temperature is maintained at 26-28°C and the must is pumped over its skins twice a day to draw colouring substances and tannins from the skins. After 10-15 days the wine is separated from the lees to prevent solubilisation of bitter tannins.

Ageing

Chianti Colli Fiorentini is aged in big oak casks of 30/60 Hl for 6-8 months. It is then stored in stainless steel tanks until bottling and, after bottling, it rests in bottle for at least 6-8 months before being released.

Tasting Notes

Chianti Colli Fiorentini has an intense ruby red colour. On the nose, complex bouquet with notes of violet, cherry and sour black cherry, underscored by spicy nuances. On the palate, the wine is harmonious and smooth with a persistent aftertaste.

Analysis

13.5% alcohol volume.

Food Suggestions

Chianti Colli Fiorentini is ideal with dishes that use olive oil or highlight rich pieces of meat such as “Bistecca Alla Fiorentina” (T-bone from Chianina beef). Great with tomato-based pasta sauces such as the Tuscan slow-simmered “Ragù al Cinghiale” made with wild boar (or try with a sauce made using any suitable available venison). Pizza remains another great match.

Serving temperature: 18-20°C.

Cellar

Ready to drink. Under adequate cellaring conditions Chianti Colli Fiorentini will acquire increase complexity over a period of up to 3 years.
