Chianti Classico DOCG Gran Selezione San Sano 2021

San Sano is a wine that comes from the Chianti Classico area, typical of the Antinori vineyards, a name that has a centuries-old tradition in the production of high quality wines. In the case of San Sano, it represents a blend of Sangiovese grapes with other varieties typical of the area.

The grapes for San Sano are harvested by hand and carefully selected. After destemming and crushing, the must ferments in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness and fruitiness of the grapes. Maceration takes place so as to extract colour and aromas without excessive tannin intensity. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in steel, which softens its acidity and improves its structure.

Ageing takes place in oak barrels for a period that gives the wine greater complexity and finesse, while maintaining the balance and freshness of Sangiovese. The end result is a harmonious wine with soft tannins, a good body and a lingering finish.
