The 2007 Cervaro della Sala (Chardonnay, Grechetto) is an especially fat, juicy version of this wine, with generous ripe fruit and a soft-textured personality. The oak is still rather prominent and the wine needs at least another year of bottle age, although it will always remain a very ripe, opulent, yet beautifully balanced Cervaro. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2015.
Castello della Sala is the Umbrian property of the Antinori family. Two white wines are made here; the Cervaro della Sala and the sweet Muffato della Sala.
