Hemmeligheden bag denne vin er blandingen af Chardonnay og op til 20 % Grechetto. Antinoris købte ejendommen i 1940 og har produceret Cervaro, en af de fineste hvidvine i Italien, siden 1985. Og på en eller anden måde er det en af de mest spændende og opsigtsvækkende vine i landet. Vinifikation til det maksimale ved kun at bruge tyngdekraften, ingen pumpning af druesaften. Chardonnay modnes i barriques, Grechetto i ståltanke. Det giver vinen en dybde, som henter sin styrke fra både kraft og friskhed. Havtorn, pink grapefrugt, abrikos og smeltende fersken med en meget krydret eftersmag af salt og appelsinskal. En fin, mandelduftende hvidvin, som skaber en stor og spændende spændingsbue i ganen. En af Italiens største hvidvine og min absolutte favorit på italienske restauranter.

Suckling om: Cervaro Della Sala Bianco

Classic Burgundian style. On the nose white chocolate, pink grapefruit, lemon zest and white flowers. Full-bodied, it shows weight, vibrancy and tension, with a silky texture and a salted citrus finish. Amazing balance in this vintage, with lemon peel bitterness in the aftertaste adding an extra dimension. Drink or hold.

Parker om: Cervaro Della Sala Bianco

The most impressive aspect of the Castello della Sala ethos is its ability to reinvent itself. This latest edition of Umbria's headline white is a true delight. Renzo Cotarella and his team have created an Italian masterpiece that is reminiscent of the great whites of Burgundy. The 2023 Cervaro della Sala opens to an elegantly reductive note of flint or crushed granite before sliding gracefully into silky fruit sensations, breakfast pastry and crème fraîche. It offers carefully balanced richness and textural importance. Winemaking is moving away from 500-liter barrels to embrace larger foudre. No bâtonnage is implemented. The wine is mostly Chardonnay, with a smaller part (between 5% and 10%, depending on the vintage) of Grechetto that has been further reduced in order to avoid any rustic tones from the Italian grape. Part of the Chardonnay does malolactic fermentation, but the Grechetto does not. This gives energy and verve to the final results. Castello della Sala has recently planted more Chardonnay (now totaling 80 hectares) for flexibility in choosing the best clusters. Throughout its many reinventions, this is the best Cervaro della Sala I have tasted.
