The 2023 vintage of this legendary Antinori cuvée proves once again why it has been the benchmark for elegance, depth, and craftsmanship since 1985. What began as a revolutionary experiment with malolactic fermentation and barrique aging, unique in Italy at the time, has become an international icon. And all of this just a stone's throw from Orvieto, in the historic Castello della Sala.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1221\" data-end=\"1260\"\u003e High-altitude vineyards with character\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"1262\" data-end=\"1619\"\u003eThe grapes grow on slopes between 220 and 485 meters above sea level, surrounding the château. The chalky soil with fossil remains and the cool microclimate ensure slow and aromatic ripening. The Chardonnay was harvested in late August, the Grechetto in mid-September. Both grapes achieved optimal balance thanks to the uneventful growing season of 2023.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1621\" data-end=\"1645\"\u003e Vinification with vision\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"1647\" data-end=\"1988\"\u003e After a brief maceration at 10°C, the must is clarified by gravity. Ninety percent is fermented in French barriques, with partial malolactic fermentation for that characteristic softness. In February, the blend is made with the steel-fermented Grechetto, after which the wine matures in bottle for several months in the Castello della Sala cellars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1990\" data-end=\"2006\"\u003e Compound\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2008\" data-end=\"2038\"\u003e 90% Chardonnay\u003cbr data-start=\"2022\" data-end=\"2025\"\u003e 10% Grechetto\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"2040\" data-end=\"2077\"\u003e Scent and taste – elegance in layers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"2079\" data-end=\"2369\"\u003eThe nose reveals notes of acacia blossom, ripe citrus, lemon jam, ginger, roasted hazelnut, and flint. On the palate, it is full-bodied, fresh, and precise, with a rounded texture and a long, mineral finish.
