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 poca distanza dalla città storica di Orvieto, Castello della Sala domina il panorama dell'unica tenuta completamente umbra di Antinori. Composta da 500 ettari, la famiglia Antinori utilizza 140 ettari di questa bella proprietà per la produzione di Chardonnay, oltre a diverse altre varietà a bacca bianca autoctone e aromatiche, il Procanico e il Grechetto, nonché una quantità limitata di varietà non tradizionali. Costruita nel 1350, l'artistica fortezza medievale si erge al centro di antichi borghi etruschi sulla collina tra il fiume Paglia e il monte Nibbio. Il dinamismo tra vecchio e nuovo, sempre presente in ciascuna delle produzioni Antinori, emerge anche qui. L'integrazione di pratiche tradizionali e moderne nei vigneti e in cantina ha permesso di produrre cinque bianchi di prim'ordine e un Pinot Nero puro e longevo. I vini più celebri sono il Cervaro della Sala - un assemblaggio giallo intenso e fresco di Chardonnay e Grechetto - e il secondo vino, il Bramito del Cervo, uno Chardonnay in purezza.
