Antinori, Bramito Della Sala, Umbria, 2023

Tuscany is famous for its red wines as opposed to white, so when Marchese Niccolò Antinori, father of Piero, the current chairman of the company, decided to make a great white wine, he looked to Umbria and bought the Castello della Sala property, intrigued by the potential of the land and the beautiful medieval castle. 160 hectares of vineyards sit on particularly complex land at altitudes of between 164 & 650 ft above sea level. The textural, smart Chardonnay and focussed blending in of other varieties mean that these wines are among the most sought after whites from this part of Italy.
