Uggiano Bianco opens with bright aromas of grapefruit, bergamot and lemon sorbet. On the palate, stone fruit and citrus are beautifully balanced by mineral notes and a gently savoury character, while the finish delivers lightly saline notes with zesty food friendly acidity. This Costa Toscana white is a lovely match for fresh fish dishes, including sushi and sashimi, where its crisp acidity and citrus notes complement delicate flavours perfectly.

About the Producer

Winemaker Giuseppe Losapio founded Azienda Uggiano in the early 1970s, and steadily developed the estate at San Vincenzo a Torri. It is now one of the leading producers in the Chianti Colli Fiorentini zone. With 100 hectares of hillside vineyards (in both Colli Fiorentini and around neighbouring Chianti Classico, near San Casciano), Uggiano produces classic and classy Tuscan reds from the region's principal grape varieties. A core of quality runs through an unfussy, practical and exceptionally well-priced range, from bright entry level Chianti to some impressive Riserva wines. In 2015, the Losapio family sold the company to Uggiano’s young but experienced management team, including commercial manager Giacomo Fossati and Daniele Prosperi, winemaker for the past 12 vintages.

Vineyard and Winery

A blend of three varieties - predominantly Vermentino, along with Trebbiano and a small portion of Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes are sourced from the Maremma region of Tuscany. After harvesting there is a cold maceration on the skins for 12 hours at 10°C to enhance aromas, then a gentle pressing, and fermentation of the free-run juice at a controlled temperature of 18°C. The wine is fermented and refined in stainless steel.
