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. After crushing, the grapes undergo temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks using selected yeasts. The must is pumped over the skins twice a day to extract colour and tannin. After 15 days the wine is racked to large oak botti (30-60 hl) for 14 months. The wine is refined in bottle for at least a further 12 months before release.
Uggiano Chianti Classico Riserva Prestige from winemaker Daniele Prosperi is a ripe, generous Riserva - mature and complex but with lovely freshness too. Pronounced aromas of violet, bramble, dried fruit and a hint of toasty oak. The palate has plum, wild cherry fruit, spicy balsamic notes and supple tannins - leading on to a long finish. It's an incredible price for a Classico Riserva if this quality. We've had others in the shop at 50% more that weren't this good! Oh, and this wine is fantastic with a Florentine steak!
