"Lucere" Chianti Riserva DOCG 2019

It is no coincidence that Chianti is one of the most popular red wines in the world. It is enough to uncork a bottle to understand that the Tuscan par excellence is a fabulous ambassador of its territory. Unconventional like any good Tuscan, it has that touch of rusticity that one likes and a strong and sincere character. Uggiano offers it here in a Riserva version, the Lucere, which comes from a blend of 90% Sangiovese and the rest Canaiolo. Fermented with maceration at a controlled temperature and matured in 30 hectolitre Slavonian oak casks for about 8 months, this red wine has all the credentials to give us an evening of pure pleasure. As soon as it is poured into the glass we discover a wine characterised by a beautiful ruby red colour with garnet hues. The bouquet is complex, with notes of black cherry, wild berries and violets. In the mouth it is rightly tannic but well balanced thanks to a rich ripe fruit. You can't go wrong at the table. As long as the dish is Tuscan and authentic. Excellent with classic pici and tagliatelle with sauce, ribollita and good Tuscan soups. But also with roast meats, crostini or Tuscan cold cuts.
