Uggiano
The Azienda Uggiano was originally set up by a group of businessmen from Bergamo, northern Italy, with a passion for Tuscan wines and inspired by a wine expert from the French school, Giuseppe Losapio. In 1976 the vineyard expanded and settled at San Vincenzo a Torri, a beautiful location in the heart of Tuscany, nestled in the countryside in the midst of monasteries, churches and country villas. In 2015 three young partners, Giacomo Fossati, Fabio Martelli and Daniele Prosperi, took up the legacy of the founder and started driving the winery towards new, ambitious goals. Today the company, by fully embracing advanced production technologies and multi-channelling, has not only brilliantly overcome the trading challenges brought about by the Covid pandemic, but has also established an ever growing presence in both the HO.RE.CA. channel and large-scale retail trade through dedicated product lines drawn from a broad range of products with excellent quality/price ratio. Uggiano is also robustly active in the fast expanding e-commerce sector. Lastly, the company has made a large investment in the up-and-coming Tuscan area of Maremma by launching the “Tenuta Aquilaia” winery, an enthusiastically driven and innovative wine producing operation.
Description
Intense ruby red colour. On the nose, complex bouquet with notes of violet, cherry and sour black cherry, underscored by spicy nuances. On the palate, the wine is harmonious and smooth with a persistent aftertaste.
Food Pairing
Ideal with dishes that use olive oil or highlight rich pieces of meat such as “Bistecca Alla Fiorentina” (T-bone from Chianina beef). Great with tomato-based pasta sauces such as the Tuscan slow-simmered “Ragù al Cinghiale” made with wild boar (or try with a sauce made using any suitable available venison). Pizza remains another great match.
