This latest edition of Umbria's headline white is a true delight. Renzo Cotarella and his team have created an Italian masterpiece that is reminiscent of the great whites of Burgundy. The 2023 Cervaro della Sala opens to an elegantly reductive note of flint or crushed granite before sliding gracefully into silky fruit sensations, breakfast pastry and crème fraîche. It offers carefully balanced richness and textural importance. Winemaking is moving away from 500-liter barrels to embrace larger foudre. No bâtonnage is implemented. The wine is mostly Chardonnay, with a smaller part (between 5% and 10%, depending on the vintage) of Grechetto that has been further reduced in order to avoid any rustic tones from the Italian grape. Part of the Chardonnay does malolactic fermentation, but the Grechetto does not. This gives energy and verve to the final results. Castello della Sala has recently planted more Chardonnay (now totaling 80 hectares) for flexibility in choosing the best clusters. Throughout its many reinventions, this is the best Cervaro della Sala I have tasted.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e97 Pts Wine Advocate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antinori (SGWS)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":17121425719386,"sku":"626396","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0427\/5837\/files\/MarchesiAntinoriCastellodellaSala_CervarodellaSala_UmbriaIGT_Italy.png?v=1741805208"},{"product_id":"regis-bouvier-clos-du-roy-marsannay-blanc-cote-de-nuits-france-2016","title":"Regis Bouvier Clos du Roy Marsannay Blanc, Cote de Nuits, France 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLightly creamy with Anjou pear, citrus, fruit blossoms, orange peel, minerality and acidity.

The influence of the mountain breezes is clear in this white with its fresh and juicy acidity and the mineral flavors that move in a rough, almost savage texture. There's a trick in this wine—30% of the final blend comes from the Apartado sparkling chardonnay bases—wines with a tension and verticality that rivals the other 70%, which is lush and round. A delicious combination in one of the most original whites in Argentina today.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"highlighter--hover-tools\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"highlighter--hover-tools--container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlighter--icon highlighter--icon-copy\" title=\"Copy\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlighter--icon highlighter--icon-change-color\" title=\"Change Color\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlighter--icon highlighter--icon-delete\" title=\"Delete\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Federico Sixto","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41170374262936,"sku":"","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0427\/5837\/products\/RutiniApartadoGranChardonnay2017.png?v=1635080675"},{"product_id":"rutini-encuentro-chardonnay-tupungato-argentina-2018","title":"Rutini Encuentro Chardonnay, Tupungato, Argentina  2022","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"productDescription\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAttractive steely yellow tone, with green undertones. The vibrant aromas (flowers, ripe fruit -mango-, white fruits) and its refreshing spirit make it unique. There are very subtle citrus accents (pink grapefruit, lemon) that accompany its elegant development on the palate. A white Chardonnay with a new, fresh and fluid style.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Federico Sixto","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41188419338392,"sku":"","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0427\/5837\/products\/rutiniencuentroChardonnay2018.png?v=1635094473"},{"product_id":"bodega-vistalba-tomero-chardonnay-los-arboles-argentina-2019","title":"Bodega Vistalba Tomero Chardonnay, Los Arboles, Argentina 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003eColor: Light yellow with greenish highlights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAroma: Green apple, pear and pineapple accompanied by subtle floral notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePalate: Sweet attack, good volume and noticeable acidity.
