The Antinori family has been committed to the art of winemaking for over six centuries since 1385 when Giovanni di Piero Antinori became a member, of the “Arte Fiorentina dei Vinattieri”, the Florentine Winemakers’ Guild. All throughout its history, twenty-six generations long, the Antinori family has managed the business directly making innovative and sometimes bold decisions while upholding the utmost respect for traditions and the environment.
Castello della Sala is located in Umbria, near the historic city of Orvieto – a region exceptional for producing white varieties. Castello della Sala, a magnificent medieval manor with 170 hectares of vineyards located between the Paglia river and the summit of Monte Nibbio. The clayey and calcareous soil vineyards are located at an altitude of 220 – 470 m.
The various grape types were harvested separately by hand during successive passages through the vineyards aimed at spotting and then picking the berries with noble rot. After another careful selection and pressing, the must fermented for 18 days at a temperature of approximately 17 C. The wine which was obtained, still sweet, went into 250 liter French oak barrels, where it remained for approximately six months before being assembled in stainless steel tanks prior to bottling.
Longevity 5-10 years.
