Marchesi Antinori Castello della Sala Bramito del Cervo Chardonnay, 2021

STORY BEHIND THIS WINE

Bramito (Second wine of Cervaro della Sala) is produced from the vineyards surrounding the medieval castle at Castello della Sala, located in the Umbria region, not far from the Tuscan border, about 18 kilometers from the historic city of Orvieto. One variety that thrives in this terroir is Chardonnay. The vineyards are on soils rich in fossil deposits with veins of clay that give the wine minerality and elegance.

OUR IMPRESSION

Buttery ripe with, mild toasted hazelnut, mediterranean lemon fruit and a fine vein of key lime acidity. Burgundian in character with a mild saline touch in the finish. This is mouthwateringly good, and very enjoyable as an aperitif, this is not to say its light by any means, but rather its impeccably balanced.

Minimal Oak aging.
