Uggiano Chianti Colli Fiorentini 2024

The vineyards of the Colli Fiorentini sub-zone lie immediately south of Florence, wrapping around the northern border of the Classico zone. Here the wines are generally a little softer and made for early drinking. This one, aged for 6 months in large oak casks, has an impressive depth of flavour. You’ll find cherry and redcurrant aromas and a hint of spice, while on the palate there are concentrated red berry and plum fruit flavours with a touch of savouriness. Altogether, there’s plenty of interest here.

A wine with real depth meaning it would pair best with grilled and roast meats.

Winemaker Giuseppe Losapio founded Azienda Uggiano in the early 1970s, developing it into a leading Chianti Colli Fiorentini producer. With 100 hectares of vineyards in Colli Fiorentini and Chianti Classico, they make a range of classic Tuscan reds from bright entry-level Chianti to impressive Riserva wines, which are known for their quality and affordability. In 2015, the Losapio family sold the estate to Uggiano's experienced management team, including commercial manager Giacomo Fossati and winemaker Daniele Prosperi under whose guidance things look to be in good health.
