Cervaro della Sala 2015

Castello della Sala

Characterised by ‘structure and sophistication’, as stated in Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, Cervaro is a fantastic Chardonnay blend with 10% of Grechetto to add vibrancy. Made by Italian legend, Antinori, it gives Burgundies a run for their money.

Named after the noble family that owned Castello della Sala during the 14th century, Monaldeschi della Cervara. The first vintage of Cervaro to be produced was the 1985. Fermented in oak and aged in both new and used barrel. No malolactic fermentation takes place adding a hint of rusticity. Crisp and linear with lots of stone fruit and tart apple and some saline and mineral notes.

95 Points Robert Parker

This is a beautiful wine that consistently outperforms vintage variation. In other words, it maintains very high quality despite the many troubles Mother Nature can throw its way. This was an easy vintage with a hot summer and plumper, richer aromas as a result. The 2015 Cervaro della Sala is robust and exuberant with bold fruit flavors and soft renderings of roasted almond, Umbrian saffron and spice. I loved the cooler and more delicate 2014 vintage, but I also adore this more powerful version from 2015.

95 Points James Suckling

Intense aromas of crushed lime and lemon as well as mineral and flint follow through to a medium body, ultra-precise acid and fruit balance. Long and linear finish. Just a hint of vanilla and cream. Give it a year or two to develop in the bottle but already a beauty.
