WINE DESCRIPTION
The Prestige Chianti Colli Fiorentini is crafted by Azienda Uggiano. The winery is nestled in the heart of Tuscany and dates from the early 1970s. This Chianti comes from the subzone of Colli Chianti Fiorentini from vines planted on south/southwest clay hills. The wine is a blend of Sangiovese, with a small proportion of the native, lesser-known Canaiolo Nero. The grapes are typically machine harvested, destemmed and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Aging lasts for around 6-8 months in a mix of French oak barrels and large casks.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Uggiano Prestige Chianti Colli Fiorentini displays a pale ruby color.On the nose, it presents an inviting bouquet of sour red cherries, tart plums, and hints of spice. These aromas are complemented by subtle notes of black tea and earth, adding complexity to the overall profile. The palate is equally impressive, with a medium-bodied structure and grippy tannins. The flavors mirror the aromas, with vibrant red fruit taking center stage complemented by notes of tomato leaf and spice. The racy acidity provides freshness and balance, driving the moderately long finish.
