Castello della Sala Bramito della Sala Chardonnay 2024 750ml

Bramìto della Sala comes from Castello della Sala, the Antinori family's estate around a medieval castle in Umbria, where the soils are clay rich in fossils. The first vintage was 1994.

It's 100% Chardonnay, labelled Umbria IGT. For the 2024, about 40% of the fruit fermented in oak and went through malolactic fermentation, while the rest fermented in stainless steel. That split keeps the wine fresh and lively, with some richness from the barrel portion. It's 12.5% alcohol.

Antinori describes straw yellow with green highlights, ripe tropical fruit and light citrus.

It's the younger sibling of Cervaro della Sala, at about a quarter of the price. Against Cakebread, Bramìto is lighter and more mineral; for an Italian Chardonnay under $25, choose Bramìto.

Serve it chilled with grilled fish, seafood pasta, roast chicken or vegetable risotto.
