Crafted in the heart of Tuscany, the Uggiano Chianti Riserva DOCG 2021 is a classic expression of Sangiovese and the region’s timeless winemaking traditions. Aged for over a year in oak barriques and further refined in large oak and stainless steel, it pours a deep ruby red with garnet reflections and immediately captivates with aromas of wild berries, sour black cherry and violet, layered with delicate hints of vanilla and spice.

On the palate, the wine is generous and full-bodied, yet beautifully balanced. Bright acidity and fine-grained tannins give structure and length, while flavours of ripe red fruit, dried herbs and subtle earthy notes unfold gracefully with every sip. A persistent, slightly savoury finish leaves a lasting impression of elegance and authenticity. 

Renowned wine critic James Suckling praises the 2021 Riserva as “a juicy and easygoing Chianti with notes of red berries and warm spices,” highlighting its supple texture and approachable style. Cameron Douglas MS is equally impressed, awarding it 93 points and describing it as “a wine with classic old-world character — aromas of red cherry, cola and dried mandarin peel mingle with subtle spice, dried herbs and a touch of rose petal. The palate is dry and savoury with firm tannins and vibrant acidity, delivering structure, grip and a mouthwatering finish.” He recommends enjoying it now or cellaring until 2030.

Consistently recognised by critics, the Uggiano Chianti Riserva DOCG 2021 has earned 90 points from Luca Maroni and a 90/100 consensus on Wine-Searcher, underscoring its quality and value. Elegant, expressive and quintessentially Tuscan, it is a wine that speaks of its origin — a seamless blend of tradition, terroir and craftsmanship.
