Uggiano Company was born in the Castle of Montespertoli in the early Seventies by the hand of Giuseppe Losapio, winemaker with a French background. In 1976 Uggiano's cellars expanded and were located in San Vincenzo a Torri near the River Pesa, among monasteries, churches, mansions and farmhouses, evidence of the past Tuscan Tradition. In 2015 three ex-employees took over the Company and collected the professional background of Giuseppe Losapio. The three historic collaborators decided to invest in the future of Uggiano to continue its adventure story and aimed to the excellence.Today, Uggiano Company boasts a dynamic, young and motivated team. The workers are united by the attachment to the Company with a solid professionalism and represent one of the Company strongest points. The common objective is the innovation in the respect of the tradition and Uggiano has many aces up its sleeve: territory, experience, passion and inborn quality vocation.Uggiano's Tuscan wines born in a Terroir unique in the world for its geological and pedoclimate characteristics. Based at 250-300 meters of height, the vineyards extend along the slopes that connect Montespertoli to Montelupo Fiorentino and San Casciano in Val di Pesa. The typically clayey soil, for the most part composed of Galestro and Alberese, added to the characteristic microclimate with mild winters and dry and sunny summers, help develop first quality grapes. It is in this strategic context, surrounded by a stunning landscape, that Uggiano produces its wines. The labels are produced under the supervision of a mastered staff, guided by the passion for viticulture passed from one generation to the next.Since 1976, the Company has been producing a wide range of typical Tuscan wines with an excellent quality-price ratio. The new generation continues in this direction: all wines are wisely supervised by a staff of oenologists, constantly engaged in search of quality and excellence. Quotes in leading magazines, as well as several international awards and recognitions, are the natural consequence of the company policy, always geared to quality.A large and impressive ageing cellar hosts Slavonian oak barrels of 3000-6000 litres and oak French barriques of 225 litres. It is in this context that Chardonnay, Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah are preserved for long periods before bottling to enhance their aromatic characteristics. A modern bottling line closes the production cycle, while a large and modern temperature-controlled warehouse hosts and preserves the wines before their distribution.Tuscan wines are famous all over the world. Obviously, the main grape of the region is Sangiovese, raised with a spurred cordon with which all Chianti wines and Toscana IGT are produced. In detail, Chianti Colli Fiorentini is mainly produced with Sangiovese grapes and a small percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon. It is a jovial, pure and very balanced wine, with a bright ruby red color and a fruity aroma, suitable for daily foods and special occasions. Chianti Classico, only produced with native vines of Sangiovese and Canaiolo Nero in San Casciano Val di Pesa area, expresses pleasant hints of violet and cherry, in addition to evident nuances of wild berries. The palate is harmonious, dry, with a pleasant tannicity.
