Territory and wine style

The Tenuta di San Sano is located in Gaiole in Chianti, in the province of Siena, in a hilly context characterized by altitudes between 375 and 450 meters and vineyards situated in the highest part of the estate. Here, the landscape alternates between woods, olive groves, and vineyards, while the calcareous-marly soils, rich in skeleton, alberese, and galestro, contribute to giving momentum and precision to the wine's profile. The climate, with strong temperature variations and good ventilation, favors a balanced maturation of the grapes and an authentic expression of the territory.

Tasting notes

This Chianti Classico Gran Selezione presents the typical character of great hillside Sangiovese: deep and luminous ruby color, fine aromas of ripe red fruits, cherry, floral notes, and spicy hints that reflect the vocation of the territory. On the palate, it combines freshness, a present but elegant tannic structure, and a well-defined body, with a savory and persistent finish. The result is a harmonious, vertical wine with beautiful energy, capable of combining complexity and drinkability.

Recommended pairings

The Chianti Classico DOCG Gran Selezione Sansano 2021 naturally accompanies Tuscan cuisine and flavorful dishes. It is ideal with Florentine steak, roasts, game, braised dishes, pappardelle with wild boar ragù, pheasant, and aged cheeses.
