Castello della Sala Bramìto del Cervo Chardonnay 2023 is a vibrant and expressive Italian Chardonnay from the famed Umbria estate owned by Marchesi Antinori. Sourced from vineyards surrounding the historic Castello della Sala, this wine captures the balance of freshness and richness that defines the region’s cool-climate style.

Fermented partly in oak and partly in stainless steel, Bramìto del Cervo 2023 offers enticing aromas of golden apple, pear, and citrus blossom, complemented by subtle notes of vanilla and toasted almond. The palate is creamy yet crisp, with layers of orchard fruit, lemon zest, and mineral tones leading to a clean, elegant finish.

Tasting Notes:

  • Aroma: Fresh apple, pear, citrus, and delicate hints of vanilla

  • Palate: Bright and silky with notes of ripe pear, lemon cream, and a touch of minerality

  • Finish: Smooth, balanced, and refreshing with lingering fruit and spice

Winemaking:
Fermented in a combination of stainless steel and French oak barrels to preserve brightness while adding depth and texture. The result is a Chardonnay that perfectly bridges the elegance of Burgundy and the sunny richness of central Italy.

Serving Suggestions:
Serve lightly chilled alongside seafood risotto, roast chicken, or creamy pasta dishes. Its freshness and structure also make it an excellent aperitif wine.

Key Features:

  • 100% Chardonnay from Umbria, Italy

  • Partial oak fermentation for texture and balance

  • Crisp, mineral-driven, and elegantly layered

  • Produced by Marchesi Antinori at Castello della Sala

Wine Spectator

"A waft of roasted nut on the nose enriches the palate's lively range of steeped apricot, Mandarin orange peel, pastry cream and chamomile notes. Racy acidity gives the complex profile fine definition and carries this on the well-spiced finish. Drink now through 2033."

Decanter

"This Umbrian Chardonnay from Antinori's estate is vinified and aged partly in stainless steel and partly in wood. The 2023 is toasty and slightly tropical, with a mineral, stony quality which runs through the core, and lovely bright acidity. It finishes with some zesty lemon peel and Mediterranean herbs. Nicely balanced and very fresh."
