The "Tenuta Castello della Sala - I Classici" kit from Antinori is an exclusive triptych of three great white wines from one of the most famous wineries near Orvieto. A true journey into the oenological excellence of central Italy, discovering one of the most renowned wine names in the world.
The box 'Tenuta Castello della Sala - I Classici' by Antinori is a valuable wooden box that recounts the prestigious Umbrian adventure of the Antinori family with three white wines that reflect the style of the Castello della Sala winery. This winery is located near Ficulle, in the province of Terni, about 18 kilometres from the town of Orvieto, in an area of volcanic origin that is highly suited to viticulture. Marquis Niccolò Antinori acquired the magnificent Castello della Sala in 1940, restoring it to its former splendour after years of neglect. The family immediately understood the territory's vocation for white wines, focusing as much on native varieties such as Grechetto and Procanico as on international varieties such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, Viognier and Pinot Bianco.
The Antinori Box 'Tenuta Castello della Sala - I Classici' includes three fine bottles produced by Castello della Sala: a bottle of 'Conte della Vipera', a bottle of Chardonnay 'Bramito della Sala' and a bottle of Orvieto Classico Superiore 'San Giovanni della Sala', all enclosed in anelegant wooden box. The 'Conte della Vipera' is made from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon grapes cultivated on soils rich in marine fossil sediments, processed entirely in steel so as to enhance the varietal and territorial characteristics. Instead, the Chardonnay 'Bramito della Sala' derives from Chardonnay grapes only, still cultivated on soils rich in marine fossil sediments, vinified between wooden barrels and stainless steel tanks in search of the balance between softness and freshness. Finally, the Orvieto Classico Superiore 'San Giovanni della Sala' comes from a blend of Grechetto, Procanico, Viognier and Pinot Bianco, varieties processed entirely in stainless steel in order to enhance the wine's attributes of typicality and internationality.
The 'Tenuta Castello della Sala - I Classici' Antinori Box is a box dedicated to lovers of great Italian white wines, modern but also typical wines.
