Cervaro della Sala - Marchesi Antinori 2007 (75cl)
Product Type: White Wines
Country: Italy
Region: Umbria/Latium
Producer: Castello della Sala
Vintage: 2007
Alcohol: 13%
Grape Varieties: 85% Chardonnay, 15% Grechetto
Closure: Cork
Producer: Niccolò Antinori bought the fourteenth-century Castello della Sala in 1940, to provide a source of white wines to match the excellence of his Tuscan reds. With the introduction of Cervaro della Sala in 1987, his dream was fully realised: this is one of Italy`s defining whites, as influential and sought after as Tignanello. The vineyards are planted with a mixture of traditional Italian and international varieties, offering a range of wines from the traditional Orvieto to the mould-breaking IGTs.
Vineyard: The grapes originate from fifteen to twenty-year-old vineyards surrounding Castello della Sala, at altitudes between 200 and 400 metres above sea level. The soil is rich in marine fossils with some clay.
Winery: Grapes were kept at a low temperature for destemming and crushing. The two varieties were fermented separately. The must was kept in contact with the skins for 8-12 hours to increase the range of aromas, and was then transferred into new 225-litre French oak barriques for fermentation. The wine remained on its lees in barriques for about six months, during which time the malolactic was completed. It was then blended and bottled, and spent ten months in bottle before release.
Taste: Intense, complex aroma with notes of citrus, pear and acacia flowers balanced with a hint of vanilla. Full-bodied and well-structured palate with sweet notes of butter and hazelnut as well as minerally notes.
Press: 92 points – “This has a lovely golden color, with exquisite aromas of baked apple studded with clove, meadow flowers, salted butter and burnt piecrust. Full-bodied, with a surprisingly linear palate, turning crisp on the finish.” – Wine Spectator, August 2009
91 points – “The 2007 Cervaro della Sala is an especially fat, juicy version of this wine, with generous ripe fruit and a soft-textured personality.” – The Wine Advocate, April 2009
