VINOVE' SALES!!
“ Cervaro della Sala ” is the famous label that Antinori produces on his estate in Umbria, created in 1985 by Riccardo Cotarella by combining 85% of Chardonnay grapes and 15% of Grechetto , it represents one of the first Italian whites to have carried out malolactic fermentation and aging in barrels.
The name is a dedication to the history of the Castello della Sala built in 1350 on behalf of Angelo Monaldeschi della Vipera, whose ancestry reached Italy following Charlemagne , right here Antinori makes this Umbrian white wine which has become truly iconic in a short time .
The nose is complex and broad , with hints of exotic fruit, citrus, and toasted notes of vanilla and butter. In the mouth the important body , accompanied by a freshness and acidity that end in a long and persistent finish.
Three words are enough: History , tradition and quality .
These are the words that come to mind when talking about Antinori and its products, this white wine is a real pearl that can outclass any competition on special occasions.
Uncork it in your moments of conviviality , whether with friends or relatives, enjoy it peacefully throughout the meal , specifically you can combine it with rich seafood preparations .
Ps Try it also on truffle- based first and second courses, a nice bomb !
Let it 'breathe' at least 15-30 minutes before drinking it, serve it at a temperature of 10°-12°C .
The vinification takes place separately for the two varieties , the skin maceration lasts for 4 days after which the must is poured into steel decantation tanks, where a static clarification phase proceeds. The malolactic fermentation of the Chardonnay takes place in French oak barriques for about 5 months before being combined with the Grechetto. Final refinement in the bottle for about 10 months in the cellars.
We are located in Umbria , not far from Orvieto and the border with Tuscany, in an area that has been suited for the production of great wines for centuries .
