Uggiano Chianti Roccialta 2020/2021 Tuscany

The label isn't winning any prizes, and to be honest, the wine in the bottle isn't exactly a Cruft's poodle, shampooed and trimmed for the show. What it is, however, is honest-to-God Chianti: tangy, savoury, spicy sangiovese (with a splash of canaiolo), no French grapes, and free of misguided oak. It's an authentic flavour of the region and we can't get enough of its rough diamond charm alongside tomato-based braises and stews, or a tangy ewe's cheese.
