Cervaro della Sala 2022 500cl

A short distance from the historic city of Orvieto, Castello della Sala towers its scenic landscape as Antinori’s only fully Umbrian estate. Spread across 500-hectares, the Antinori family uses 140-hectares of this pleasant property for the production of Chardonnay, in addition to several other indigenous and aromatic white varietals, Procanico and Grechetto, as well as a limited amounts of non-traditional varieties. Built in 1350, the aesthetic medieval fortress stands in the center of the historic, hillside Etruscan villages lying between the Paglia River and Mount Nibbio. The dynamism between the old and the new, which is ever-present in each of Antinori’s productions – holds true. Integration of both traditional and modern practices within the vineyards and cellars have produced five first-rate whites, and one pure, age-worthy Pinot Noir. It’s most famous wines are Cervaro della Sala – a vibrant yellow, crisp blend of Chardonnay and Grechetto – and its second wine, a pure Chardonnay – Bramito del Cervo.
