On the palate, it stands out for being taut and elegant, with a deep \u003cstrong\u003esavoury and mineral texture\u003c\/strong\u003e that ensures extraordinary longevity. The aromatic profile opens with notes of pink grapefruit, elderflower, vanilla and flint. The Chardonnay undergoes fermentation in \u003cstrong\u003enew oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by partial malolactic fermentation, while the Grechetto is vinified exclusively in stainless steel to preserve its natural freshness.\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 Ficulle, on the border between Umbria and Tuscany. This area enjoys an \u003cstrong\u003eideal microclimate\u003c\/strong\u003e, characterised by significant temperature variations and morning mists that ensure optimal ripening of the grapes. The vines sink their roots into \u003cstrong\u003eclay and limestone soils\u003c\/strong\u003e of Pliocene origin, whose abundance of marine fossils gives the wine a pronounced saline verticality. The altitude and the unique \u003cstrong\u003eUmbrian terroir\u003c\/strong\u003e define a complex and highly appealing structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production process begins with a \u003cstrong\u003enight harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e, aimed at preserving the aromatic integrity of the grapes. After gentle pressing, the Chardonnay undergoes cold skin maceration and ferments in French oak barrels, then rests on its lees. The Grechetto, vinified separately, is subsequently blended to define the final blend. The wine completes its journey with a \u003cstrong\u003elengthy maturation\u003c\/strong\u003e in the estate’s \u003cstrong\u003ehistoric cellars\u003c\/strong\u003e, achieving perfect gustatory harmony before its further evolution over time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreated in 1985 by the creativity of Renzo Cotarella, Cervaro della Sala is the emblem of the Castello della Sala estate, under the signature of \u003cstrong\u003eMarchesi Antinori\u003c\/strong\u003e. Its name pays tribute to the Monaldeschi della Cervara, historic owners of the manor during the 14th century. A true oenological pioneer, it stands out for being among the first Italian white wines to undergo \u003cstrong\u003emalolactic fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e and a refined \u003cstrong\u003eageing in barrique\u003c\/strong\u003e.
