PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
1500ml (1.5L Magnum) by Antinori
Chardonnay & Grechetto
"This is Marchesi Antinori's top white wine, and it comes from the region of Umbria. The Castello della Sala 2022 Cervaro della Sala is based on Chardonnay and has a small part of the local grape Grechetto in the blend. The nose opens to a reductive note of flint or matchstick, but it lifts quickly to reveal soft orchard fruit, white peach and minty apple. There are delicately applied toasted notes with a hint of pecan or macadamia nut. To finish, you also get salty mineral notes that underline the extremely vertical or lifted personality of the bouquet. Renzo Cotarella tells me that tweaks to winemaking in recent years have attempted "to slim down the wine and not make it any bigger." This was a hot vintage, but Cervaro della Sala remains true to its leaner and meaner blueprint." Robert Parker 94 Points
"An enticing nose of ripe fruit, floral and spice notes lures you into the glass of this classy white. Finely meshed and refreshing, with a pleasing succulence to the flavors of ripe yellow peach, macadamia nut, lemon-infused pastry cream and ginger biscuit. Lightly chalky in texture, these lingers on the salty finish. Chardonnay and Grechetto. Drink now through 2032." Wine Spectator 92 Points
Cervaro della Sala was one of the first Italian white wines to have malolactic fermentation and aging take place in barriques.
The wine’s name honors the Monaldeschi della Cervara family who was the historic owner of Castello della Sala in the XVI century.
