Attractive nose of ripe mangoes, pineapple and grilled lemons with some toasty, nutty notes and hints of smoky minerality. Cardamom and pie crust, too. It’s full-bodied, nervy and juicy, with bright acidity and savory nuances. It’s layered and long and it builds up on the palate, with vibrant, spicy notes of candied ginger, dried lemons and bitter citrus peel. Truly the Montrachet of Italy. Drink or hold.

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. However, given its accessible personality, we could expect a shorter drinking window for the 2022s.

Antinori - Castello della Sala
A quelques encablures de la ville historique d’Orvieto, le Castello della Sala domine de superbes paysages et représente l’unique propriété d’Antinori domiciliée en Ombrie. Sur une superficie totale de 500 hectares, 140 hectares de cette charmante propriété sont dédiés à la production de chardonnay, agrémenté de cépages blancs autochtones et aromatiques tels le procanico et le grechetto, de même que des superficies plus restreintes de variétés non traditionnelles. Erigée en 1350, cette belle forteresse médiévale se dresse au milieu des villages étrusques perchés sur des collines, entre la rivière Paglia et le mont Nibbio. Le même dynamisme qui caractérise toutes les exploitations d’Antinori se vérifie ici aussi, à travers l’adoption de pratiques traditionnelles et modernes, à la vigne comme dans les chais. Cette approche a enfanté cinq vins blancs de premier plan et un pur pinot noir à la capacité de garde avérée. Les représentants les plus illustres du domaine ont pour nom, Cervaro della Sala – assemblage acidulé de chardonnay et de grechetto à la couleur jaune vif – et Bramito del Cervo, le second vin, un 100% chardonnay.
