White wine | Umbria, Italy
The Cervaro della Sala is more than just a wine; it's an experience, a journey into the heart of Umbria, Italy. Crafted by the esteemed Marchesi Antinori at Castello della Sala, this white wine is a testament to the harmonious marriage of tradition and innovation. This wine is a blend of Chardonnay and Grechetto grapes. The Chardonnay contributes the wine's structure, ripe fruit notes, and creamy texture. The Grechetto, a local Umbrian variety, brings its signature minerality, acidity, and herbal nuances to the blend, resulting in a wine that is both complex and balanced. Cervaro della Sala's taste profile is an exquisite blend of dry crispness, rich fruit, and notable minerality, with a delicate hint of vanilla. This intricate flavour profile makes it incredibly versatile when it comes to food pairings. Imagine savoring this wine with grilled seafood, its citrusy notes dancing with the smoky char of the fish. Picture the wine's minerality cutting through the richness of creamy pasta dishes, cleansing the palate with each sip. And for a truly decadent experience, pair it with roasted chicken or veal, where the wine's acidity balances the savory flavors of the meat. This wine is wonderful now, it will continue to evolve and develop even more complexity over the next 5-10 years. The Cervaro della Sala is not just a wine; it's an experience, a journey into the heart of Umbria. It's a testament to the artistry of winemaking, a celebration of terroir, and a reminder that some of life's greatest pleasures are best enjoyed slowly, deliberately, and with a glass of exceptional wine in hand.
