Antinori Castello della Sala “Bramito”

Castello della Sala stands proudly on a rocky promontory in Umbria, a short distance from the Tuscan border and 11 miles from the old city of Orvieto. Bramito Chardonnay balances an old-world style with a modern personality: part of the wine is aged for five months in oak, while the other part goes into stainless steel. The short aging in wood gives the wine its yellow color and a good rounded flavor, expressing a fresh, complex bouquet and buttery notes laced with vanilla. The stainless steel component maintains freshness and minerality. For more than 630 years − spanning 26 generations − the Antinori family has produced exceptional wines that celebrate its Tuscan and Umbrian roots. Antinori wines proudly honor Italian winemaking traditions, but also reflect the family’s relentless push to innovate and experiment. No other family of winemakers has achieved such consistent excellence.
