Energy and silk define the 2023 Cervaro della Sala, layering ripe yellow stone fruit and pink grapefruit with notes of white flowers, toasted hazelnut and a subtle creamy spice. The palate is full and concentrated yet finely etched, driven by vibrant acidity and a salty citrus edge that stretches into a long, precise, mineral-tinged finish. This vintage stands out for its superb balance of richness, tension and finesse, promising both immediate pleasure and impressive evolution in bottle.

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.
