2010 Vinsanto Del Chianti DOC “Uggiano”

Background : Azienda Uggiano was originally founded by a group of Begamo merchants with a passion for Tuscany wines and was inspired by Giuseppe Losapio, a French wine expert.
In 1976, the vineyard was built in San Vincenzo a Torri, a village in the heart of Tuscany, surrounded by monasteries, churches and country houses.
