Antinori Castello della Sala - Umbria IGT 'Chardonnay Bramito della Sala' 2023
IN STOCK
$24.00
Castello della Sala is located in Umbria at approximately ten miles (18 kilometers) from the city of Orvieto. The soil, rich in clay on the whole, the vineyards with a fine eastern exposure, a climate characterized by cold – but not to excess – winters and warm summers in which fog plays a role in the ripening of the grapes: all these factors make Castello della Sala a spot with a very high potential for the production of fine white wine.
Bramìto della Sala has an intense and bright straw yellow color. The fresh and fragrant notes of golden apple, hawthorn combined with sensations of lemon custard, vanilla and biscuit strike the nose. On the palate it fully expresses the varietal character with its creaminess, flavor and with slight references to cedar peel.
"This Umbrian Chardonnay from Antinori's estate is vinified and aged partly in stainless steel and partly in wood. The 2023 is toasty and slightly tropical, with a mineral, stony quality which runs through the core, and lovely bright acidity. It finishes with some zesty lemon peel and Mediterranean herbs. Nicely balanced and very fresh." - 91 Points, Decanter
