Antinori Cervaro della Sala 2023
by Marchesi Antinori
One of Italy’s most iconic white wines — refined, age-worthy, and consistently world-class. Cervaro della Sala blends elegance with structure, often compared in style to top white Burgundies while maintaining its unmistakable Italian soul.
Predominantly Chardonnay, with a small touch of Grechetto for freshness and texture
Grown on the high, limestone-rich soils of Castello della Sala in Umbria
Partial barrel fermentation and ageing add depth without overpowering purity
This is richness with restraint — creamy yet mineral, powerful yet precise.
Nose
Lemon zest, ripe pear, white peach, acacia blossom, subtle vanilla, toasted hazelnut, crushed stone
Palate
Silky and layered — citrus and orchard fruit wrapped in fine creaminess, vibrant acidity, and a chalky mineral core
Finish
Long, elegant, and fresh with lingering citrus, almond, and gentle oak spice
Beautiful now with a little air, yet built to evolve gracefully for 10–15+ years, developing honeyed, nutty complexity over time.
Outstanding with:
Lobster, scallops, and shellfish
Grilled turbot, seabass, or Dover sole
Roast chicken with herbs or truffle
Creamy risotto and mushroom dishes
Soft and semi-aged cheeses
A perfect centrepiece white for refined dinners and tasting menus.
One of the first great Italian barrel-aged Chardonnays
Combines Old World finesse with modern precision
Consistently ranks among Italy’s top white wines
Elegant, complex, and beautifully balanced — Cervaro della Sala 2023 delivers freshness, texture, and serious ageing potential. A benchmark Italian white that always impresses both collectors and guests at the table.
