wines
The only Italian wine which can boast to have a very sound tradition is, without any doubt, the CHIANTI. In fact this wine was produced and commercialised abroad with success by the Florentine patriarchal families already in the XIV century.
Next to Montespertoli castle, in a majestic context of monasteries, churches, country houses and villas, rise the Azienda Uggiano's cellars. The vineyards of the Company spread out along the slopes which join the village of Montespertoli with Montagnana, San Casciano V.P. and San Vincenzo a Torri, at an altitude of 250-300 m. above sea level.
Eighty percent of the UGGIANO’s production is served at the finest restaurants in the world and the wines are always synonymous of quality, being a testimony of the tradition and of the riches of the territories where this marvellous wine takes life.
The Azienda Uggiano offers 1st Class wines, bottled after at least 12 months of preservation in oak barrels, traditional oak casks or in stainless steel tanks until the bouquet reaches the right point of aging. The wines are constantly controlled in order to keep under observation the sensory characteristics.
Doctor Losapio, expert connoisseur of both Italian and French wines, manages a staff of enologists in charge of the Chianti production which hold true to the traditional methods. Moreover, the Azienda Uggiano's wines reach an alcohol level inferior to the average ( 12/12,5° instead of 13/14°). By making wine with a lower alcohol level, one can enjoy our products both in professional and social settings, because they possess a more intense fruity bouquet without the possible negative effects on digestion, that come with high alcohol level.
