Golden fruit rolls across the palate in Antinori Cervaro della Sala 2017, with ripe apple and stone-fruit depth cut by a firm, almost muscular structure and a long, tensile finish. The warm vintage shows in its richness and hint of nutty spice, yet the wine stays remarkably poised and energetic rather than heavy.

Cervaro della Sala is Antinori’s flagship white from the Castello della Sala estate in Umbria, a mostly Chardonnay cuvée (with a small percentage of local Grechetto) renowned for marrying Burgundian oak-ageing techniques with Italian terroir; grown on clay and calcareous soils near Orvieto, it combines vibrant citrus and white-flower aromatics with mineral, pastry and hazelnut notes, a savory, textured palate and excellent ageing potential.
