After crushing, the must undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel (28-30°C), with pumping over twice a day to extract colour and tannin. After 10-15 days the wine is racked to large 30-60 hl oak casks for 6 months, with further refinement for at least 3 months in bottle.
Another well crafted, modern and approachable Chianti from the young team at Uggiano, Roccialta Reserva wine has a fresh, youthful style with nice depth of Sangiovese fruit and is remarkable value. 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. Just beautiful with roast lamb with rosemary and garlic or game... especially pheasant or wild boar!
