On the nose, vibrant notes of pink grapefruit and hints of tropical fruit emerge, intertwined with delicate nuances of white flowers. On the palate, it shows an \u003cstrong\u003eagile and dynamic structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, guided by a pronounced acidity and a deep mineral savouriness that provide gustatory tension. The finish, clean and persistent, makes it ideal for pairing with raw seafood, \u003cstrong\u003eshellfish and fresh cheeses\u003c\/strong\u003e while fully respecting their natural delicacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes grow in the vineyards of the Castello della Sala estate, located among the hills of Umbria near Orvieto. The vines sit between 250 and 350 metres above sea level, benefiting from excellent exposure and a marked diurnal temperature range. The identity of the terroir is defined by \u003cstrong\u003eclay and limestone soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, enriched by \u003cstrong\u003emarine fossil sediments\u003c\/strong\u003e, a geological element that gives the wine an unmistakable savoury energy. The name of the cuvée pays tribute to the Monaldeschi della Vipera, the \u003cstrong\u003efirst historical owners\u003c\/strong\u003e of the property, binding it firmly to its territory of origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe winemaking begins with a careful \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e, picking the Sauvignon Blanc first and then the Sémillon at distinct times. Upon arrival at the cellar, the bunches are cooled and subjected to gentle pressing to protect the aromatic profile. After natural clarification, \u003cstrong\u003efermentation in stainless steel tanks\u003c\/strong\u003e follows at controlled temperatures. The two varieties are then blended, while \u003cstrong\u003emalolactic fermentation is inhibited\u003c\/strong\u003e by keeping the wine cold. The final ageing in stainless steel ensures the preservation of freshness and clear varietal expression.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreated in 1997, \u003cstrong\u003eConte della Vipera\u003c\/strong\u003e pays tribute to the ancient Monaldeschi family, the historic owners of the Castello della Sala estate in Umbria, owned by the Antinori family.
