"CERVARO DELLA SALA" ANTINORI 2021
The name Cervaro derives from the noble family that owned the Castello della Sala during the fourteenth century: the Monaldeschi della Cervara. Chardonnay grapes combined with a small part of Grechetto for a wine designed to refine over time and represent the elegance and complexity of a unique place. Cervaro della Sala was one of the first Italian white wines to carry out malolactic fermentation and aging in barriques with the first vintage in 1985
