Castello Della Sala, Italy's prestigious Domaine winery, is located in Umbria, close to the Tuscan border and the historic town of Orvieto. This imposing medieval manor house, built in 1350 by Angelo Monaldeschi Della Vipera, has belonged to the Antinori family since 1940. Nestled in 600 hectares of greenery crossed by the River Paglia and Mount Nibbio, Castello Della Sala now boasts over 200 hectares of vineyards.
This historic Domaine is renowned for its exceptional white wines produced from emblematic grape varieties such as Chardonnay, Grechetto and Procanico. Its most emblematic wine, Cervaro della Sala, is renowned for its elegance and ageing potential, illustrating the combination of tradition and innovation that characterizes Maison Antinori.
Perched between 220 and 470 meters above sea level, the vineyards have clay-limestone soils, rich in fossilized shells, ideal for the production of great white wines, as well as magnificent pinot noir. Exposure and temperature variations at this altitude ensure ideal ripening of the grapes.
In the winery, every effort has been made to pRéserver preserve the freshness and intense aromas of the grapes. The modern vat room blends perfectly with the historic ageing cellar, located beneath the fortress and where the French oak barrels rest, to best reveal the expression of this great terroir.
Tasting notes:
Although Castello Della Sala is renowned for its white wines, it also produces top-quality 100% Pinot Noir reds. Such is the case with this 2015 vintage, which boasts a light ruby color typical of the grape variety, and a delicate, complex nose. There are pleasant notes of redcurrant and strawberry, as well as flowers such as violet and rose. On the palate, the attack is supple and elegant, and the wine has a silky texture thanks to very velvety tannins. The balance between roundness and freshness perfectly underlines the red fruit aromas. The fresh finish leaves a pleasant impression of liquorice.
