"You can count the best Orvieto producers on one hand", claims Vinous' Eric Guido, and "Castello della Sala undoubtedly ranks among them".

Antinori has been making wine here since 1940 and first released Cervaro back in 1985, where it turned heads as one Italy's first barrel-fermented Chardonnays. They were seeking that same energy, tension and vivacity you find in great white Burgundy, and to achieve that in warmer Umbria, boldly chose to throw a dash of Grechetto into the mix. The resultant wine combines the generosity of Umbria whilst being distinctively Burgundian; in fact one of France's most esteemed oenologists famously identified Cervaro as a Batard-Montrachet at a blind tasting.

Cervaro is a consistent performer with an extraordinary average of 97.2 points from James Suckling over the last five years, a feat achieved by few wines. The 2023 is yet to be scored by critics but we're expecting another triumph.
