Cervaro della Sala is one of those rare wines that hardly needs an introduction. This Umbrian white enjoys a remarkably loyal following among our clients and, having secured a small parcel at a particularly attractive price, we felt it deserved a brief mention.
There are no published critic reviews for the 2024 as yet, and we have not tasted it ourselves. However, the growing season appears to have been a favourable one. According to Antinori, a mild winter, well-timed spring rainfall and warm, stable summer conditions produced healthy fruit with excellent balance and aromatic complexity at harvest.
Confidence is also underpinned by recent form. The 2023 was arguably the finest Cervaro released to date, and the team at Castello della Sala continues to refine a blend centred on Chardonnay, complemented by a small proportion of Grechetto. The result has long stood among Italy's most accomplished white wines, combining richness and texture with remarkable freshness and longevity.
While we cannot yet comment on the quality of the 2024 from personal experience, everything suggests another strong release from one of Italy's most consistent estates. Offered at a very competitive price and in limited quantity.
