    Gaiole lies in the east of Chianti Classico on the border with Arezzo, where the hills are higher, the soil stonier and the climate cooler. San Sano is the highest of Antinori's three new single vineyards: 420 to 450 metres above sea level, on Galestro and Alberese – the characteristic soils that give the Sangiovese grape a precision and tension at this altitude that is not found anywhere else. Antinori acquired San Sano in 2014, the first of the three new vineyards – the gesture of a house that was serious about its return to Chianti Classico. 100% Sangiovese, 5,000 to 6,000 bottles.

    Deep, clear ruby red colour right to the rim. Fresh cherry, blood orange, thyme, rosemary and mint on the nose – polished and multi-layered, with a cleanliness that heralds height and galestro. The palate is vertical and lively, with fine-grained tannins, racy acidity and a long final with a hint of cedar. San Sano is the slender, nervous brother in this trilogy – the wine that initially asks more than it gives and whose convincing answer takes time. SUPERIORE.DE
