Marchesi Antinori Cervaro Della Sala 1999 Magnum in OWC
MARCHESI ANTINORI
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.
Each vintage, each plot of land, each new idea to be advanced is a new beginning, a new pursuit for achieving higher quality standards. As Marchese Piero loves to say: “Ancient family roots play an important part in our philosophy but they have never hindered our innovative spirit.”
CASTELLO DELLA SALA
The splendid “Castello della Sala”, the prestigious Umbrian estate of the Antinori Family, rises on a promontory of the Umbro Appennine. A place of unbelievable beauty and charm. For decades, it is the heart of the production of the best white wines with Antinori plates.
In the spring of 1979, Renzo Cotarella, a young agronomist who will produce the wines of the estate in less than ten years, arrived at the Castle. In those years, he soon began to work on an ambitious varietal regeneration project. This was aimed at obtaining white wines with a greater personality than those produced in the Orvieto Classico area. He worked on chardonnay and he deepened his knowledge of Grechetto.
The Cervaro della Sala was born in 1985, one of the most famous and appreciated Italian wines in the world.
CERVARO DELLA SALA
The name Cervaro comes from the noble family that owned Castello della Sala during the 14th century, Monaldeschi della Cervara. A blend of Chardonnay grapes and a small quantity of Grechetto make a wine that can age over time and represent the elegance and complexity of this unique estate. Cervaro della Sala is one of the first Italian white wines to have malolactic fermentation and aging take place in barriques. The first vintage of Cervaro to be produced was the 1985 vintage.
