Uggiano Chianti Riserva DOCG 2020 1500ml

Uggiano Chianti Riserva DOCG 2020 is a traditional Tuscan red wine made from 90% Sangiovese and 10% Canaiolo. The wine combines the characteristic freshness and red-fruit profile of Sangiovese with the rounded fruit character of Canaiolo, creating a structured and expressive Chianti Riserva.

The wine undergoes fermentation with 10–15 days of skin maceration at controlled temperatures of 28–30°C. It is matured for 12–14 months in Allier, Nevers and Vosges oak barriques, followed by a further 6–8 months in larger oak casks. The wine then rests in stainless-steel tanks before a minimum of 12 months of bottle maturation.

The 2020 vintage displays an intense ruby-red colour with darker nuances, while the nose offers ripe Amarena cherry, dark chocolate and subtle forest-floor character. The palate is medium-bodied with noticeable structure, slightly firm tannins and a medium-to-long finish.
