Castello della Sala | Antinori

Vom Castello della Sala, unweit von Orvieto in 500m Höhe gelegen, kommen ausnahmslos exzellente Tropfen, wie schon der preiswerte "Einstiegswein" San Giovanni della Sala beweist. Bemerkenswert seine Frische, sein Reichtum und die Balance, in der sich Noten gelber Blüten, grüner Apfel, Salbei und Ingwer zeigen. Am Gaumen dann eine ungemein seidige Textur und saftige Säure, die diesen saftigen Weißen in einen schönen, mineralischen Abgang geleiten. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2020 San Giovanni della Sala lifts up pretty and delicate, mixing peach skins with spring flowers and a hint of wet stone. It displays soft and enveloping textures, contrasted by stimulating acidity and saline-mineral tones that add tension throughout. Its fruit is decidedly green in color, mixing lime with Granny Smith apple, and tapering off with a flourish of savory herbs. The San Giovanni della Sala is a spicy and invigorating mix of Grechetto, Procanico, Pinot Bianco and Viognier that keeps you coming back to the glass for more." Vinous

Reiches, schön ausgewogenes Bouquet mit Noten von Kumquats. Am Gaumen gelbes Steinobst, Graphit, Mineralien und eine zarte Vanillenote. Dieser frische Weiße ist schon heute elegant, ausgewogen, füllig und persistent am Gaumen, die weitere Flaschenreife wird ihn vollends abrunden. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dried apricots and peaches emerge from an air of white smoke and incense as the 2020 Bramìto della Sala opens up in the glass. It’s soft and appealing through its stimulating mix of mineral-tinged orchard fruits and complementary nuances of sour citrus. Hints of grapefruit and green botanicals linger throughout the long, spicy. mouthwatering finale." Vinous

"A refreshing white that meshes a spine of snappy acidity and a streak of salty mineral with a pleasing range of creamy Honeycrisp apple, orange curd, blanched almond and honeysuckle notes. Ends with a lingering, lightly spiced finish." Wine Spectator

Feine Spätlese aus dem Hause Antinori: Komplexer Duft und seidiger Geschmack mit Aromen von süßen, saftigen Pfirsichen, reifen Birnen, Jasmin, Karamell und Honig. Muffato della Sala ist einer der berühmtesten und köstlichsten Süßweine Italiens. SUPERIORE.DE

Seit vielen Jahren liefert Castello della Sala einen der berühmtesten Weißweine Italiens, den Cervaro. Er wurde in den letzten Jahren immer frischer und zugleich tiefer, ohne die konservative, breite Stilistik, die ältere Spätlese-Ausgaben dieses Weins noch geprägt haben. Im Bouquet Apfelkompott, Sahne, Noten von Eichenrinde, Mango und Pfirsich. Am Gaumen voller tropischer Früchte mit einer feinen Säure-Ader und präziser mineralischer Komponente. Ein lang anhaltender, wunderschöner Weißer und jedes Jahr zu Recht einer der begehrtesten weißen Kreszenzen der Weinwelt. SUPERIORE.DE

"A toasty, medium-bodied white, with rich notes of baked nectarine, grilled nut, lemon curd and candied ginger gliding across the palate. Enlivened and balanced by well-honed acidity and a chalky underpinning that lingers on the snappy finish." Wine Spectator

"A mix of mulled yellow apples, crushed hazelnuts, dusty dried flowers and wet stone creates a rich and inviting display as the 2019 Cervaro della Sala evolves in the glass. It’s soft and enveloping, casting opulent waves of textural ripe orchard fruits and subtle savory spices across the palate. Nuances of wild herbs come together with lingering mineral tones under an air of vanilla custard as the Cervaro della Sala tapers off fresh yet with incredible length. This blend, primarily Chardonnay with a dollop of Grechetto, could use another year or two to fully unwind." Vinous

"The Castello della Sala 2019 Cervaro della Sala relies on a time-honored formula in which the Grechetto grape adds vertical intensity and freshness and Chardonnay gives structure and sophistication. Indeed, Grechetto (with late-harvest clones) never goes above 10% of the blend, and no malolactic fermentation is performed on that variety in order to maintain its tonic and fresh personality. This stunning edition shows orchard fruit, honey and flinty notes. The Chardonnay ferments in neutral barrique from September to February, and fine-grained wood is prioritized to render a reductive winemaking technique to further preserve aromatic intensity. This mid-weight and age-worthy white is redolent of Golden Delicious apple, acacia flower and tropical fruit." Robert Parker

"A full-bodied white with complex aromas of hawthorn, ripe peach, apricot, mango, lime, flint, toast and some smoke. Layered, concentrated and persistent with bright acidity and a firm, phenolic texture. Hint of vanilla. Very long and refined. Beautiful as always. Very approachable, but better from 2022."
