For many years, Castello della Sala has been producing one of Italy's most famous white wines, the Cervaro. In recent years, it has become fresher and deeper at the same time, without the conservative, broad style that characterised older late harvest editions of this wine. On the nose, stewed apples, cream, notes of oak bark, mango and peach. The palate is full of tropical fruit with a fine vein of acidity and a precise mineral component. A long-lasting, beautiful white wine and rightly one of the most sought-after white wines in the wine world every year. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright straw yellow colour. Smells very inviting on the nose, precise, flint, salted butter, precious wood, elegant yellow fruit, slight hint of citrus fruit on the finish. Great juiciness and salinity on the palate, very polished, rich and precise, superbly balanced, mineral notes on the finish, long." Falstaff

"The youthful and shy Cervaro della Sala 2023 exudes a smoky reduction and reveals depths of crushed yellow apples, sesame, pine shavings and nuances of custard. This is pure elegance in the glass, while silky textures wrap around the palate. A hint of residual acidity keeps the energy going, even as the 2023 finishes tannic and powerful, with a lingering finish of mineral apricots. This is a suburban version of the Cervaro della Sala." Vinous

"Classic Burgundian style. On the nose white chocolate, pink grapefruit, lemon zest and white flowers. Full-bodied, it shows weight, vibrancy and tension, with a silky texture and a salted citrus finish. Amazing balance in this vintage, with lemon peel bitterness in the aftertaste adding an extra dimension." James Suckling
