🍷 Why this Chianti Riserva stands apart
The Chianti Riserva DOCG designation is reserved for wines that have undergone a minimum ageing of 24 months, of which at least 3 months in bottle. This is not a standard Chianti — it is the selection. Uggiano produces this wine at Tenuta Aquilaia, in a territory perfectly suited to Sangiovese in its most structured expression: tannins that are present but never aggressive, ripe fruit balanced by a natural acidity that guarantees longevity.
The result is a wine that stands up to the great dishes of Tuscan cuisine — from pici al ragù to grilled meat — but has enough personality to be enjoyed on its own, as a Riserva DOCG deserves.
