Antinori Cervaro della Sala IGT

Grape Variety: Chardonnay,Grechetto

 

Alcohol: 13% Vol

 

Vinification:The vinification cellar was designed to take ful advantage of gravity flow;a concept that provides a gentler approach to handling the harvested berriesand fermentation processes without the use of mechanical pumps. The grapes are harvested in the early morning hours to preserve the purity of the fruit and protect it from elevated daytime temperatures. The must, which has undergone maceration on the skins at a temperature of 10℃(50°F)for about 4 hours, is first transferred by gravity flow into tanks for decantation and clarification, then transferred into barriques. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in barrique followed by malolactic fermentation. Usually,after a period of 5 months, the Chardonnay is ready to be transferred back into stainless steel vats and blended with Grechetto. The Grechetto must was fermented separately but did not age in oak. Subsequently, Cervaro della Sala aged in the bottle for several months in Castello della Sala's historic cellars before being released for sale


Colour: pale yellow in color with notable greenish highlights

 

Bouquet: Its intense, complex nose shows notes of citrus fruit, pineapples and acacia blossoms that blend harmoniously with hints of vanilla and flint.

 

Taste: On the palate, it's generous, refined and well structured;pleasantly savory notes are well-balanced by typical sweet sensations of hazelnut butter.
