Tasting note Uggiano Governo all'uso Toscano
Soft red berry fruit and plenty of cherries, and more cherries. Pleasantly jammy, full-bodied, spicy, and very tasty. Reminiscent of an appassimento. Accessible to everyone, making it perfect for the novice wine drinker. Ruby bright color.
Food & Wine
Chianti loves tomatoes. Uggiano Governo all'uso Toscano pairs well with typical Tuscan dishes like Ossobuco, wild boar, Pollo alla Cacciatora, or a classic Tuscan chicken liver crostini, but also goes well with pasta bolognese, lasagna, or pizza. Or how about a board with salami, coppa, and prosciutto, along with some figs and cheese. Cheers!
Additional information
Governo is a vinification technique in which the first grapes harvested (10 to 15% of the crop) are left to dry on mats in the sun. These dried grapes are later added to wine that has already completed fermentation. This triggers a second fermentation. This method makes the wine drinkable sooner, allowing it to be enjoyed as early as April/May of the following year. This method also makes the wine much more stable and adds suppleness.
Winemaker Giuseppe Losapio founded Azienda Uggiano in the early 1970s and steadily developed the estate in San Vincenzo a Torri. It is now one of the leading producers in the Chianti Colli Fiorentini zone. With 100 hectares of hillside vineyards (both in the Colli Fiorentini and around the neighboring Chianti Classico area,
near San Casciano), Uggiano produces classic and stylish Tuscan red wines from the region's main grape varieties such as Sangiovese and Canaiolo. Sometimes with a small splash of Merlot for added creaminess. The Sangiovese and Canaiolo grapes come from Uggiano's vineyards, which stretch across the hills connecting Montespertoli with Montelupo Fiorentino and San Casciano Val di Pesa.

Gold and black presentation. A governor in his Sunday best. And Sangiovese that also puts its best foot forward. A red Tuscan wine made partly with dried grapes. Thus, with a slight sensation of dried currant sweetness.
The sun is shining, the plums are gleaming, the cherries are showing off, and ripe tannins please the palate. Has a bit more to say than the previous year. A plus point.
