Cervaro della Sala Umbria 2023 – Iconic Italian white wine from Marchesi Antinori

Cervaro della Sala 2023 is one of Italy’s most prestigious white wines – a true iconic wine from Umbria created by the legendary Marchesi Antinori winery. This is an exclusive and age-worthy Italian white wine that combines international elegance with deep respect for Italian terroir. A wine for those who want complexity, finesse and development potential in a class of its own.

From the cool heights around Castello della Sala in Umbria, this remarkable wine is created where the climate provides perfect conditions for Chardonnay and the local Grechetto. The result is a white wine with richness, freshness and structure – a wine that impresses now, but also rewards patience in the cellar.

The cuvée consists primarily of Chardonnay with a small amount of Grechetto. Chardonnay contributes depth, creamy texture and ageing potential, while Grechetto adds character, structure and a distinct minerality. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and is aged in small French barriques, giving a silky mouthfeel and elegant notes of vanilla and subtle toasted oak.

Tasting notes

On the nose, Cervaro della Sala 2023 opens with intense and refined aromas of white peaches, citrus, pineapple and delicate flowers. There are also hints of brioche and light toast from the barrel aging.

The palate is complex and harmonious, with ripe fruit, creamy texture and a nice mineral core. The well-integrated acidity adds freshness and lifts the fullness of the wine, while the finish is long, precise and elegant. A white wine with great ageing potential that will develop even greater depth and complexity over the coming years.

Perfect for gastronomy

Cervaro della Sala 2023 is made for the ambitious kitchen. It goes perfectly with lobster, scallops, grilled fish and veal in light sauces. It also matches refined pasta dishes with truffles or mushrooms and mature cheeses. Serve at 10-12°C for optimal enjoyment.
