Antinori Bramito della Sala Chardonnay (2024)
The 2024 Vintage
Bramito della Sala serves as a brilliantly expressive, entry-level introduction to the iconic white winemaking mastery of Antinori's Umbrian estate. Balancing rich, barrel-aged complexity with a vibrant, modern Italian freshness, this estate-grown Chardonnay is crafted to deliver immediate, high-end pleasure.
The wine is sourced from vineyards surrounding the medieval fortress of Castello della Sala, where soils are rich in ancient marine fossils, clay, and limestone. Following a gentle, temperature-controlled pressing, the juice undergoes alcoholic and partial malolactic fermentation in a mix of French oak barriques and stainless steel tanks. This careful dual approach ensures the wine absorbs delicate wood nuances and develops a beautifully integrated structure while locking in its brilliant, natural aromatic clarity.
Pouring Bramito della Sala offers a highly sophisticated white wine experience without the imposing price tag of its famous sibling, Cervaro. It is a brilliant, structured Chardonnay that pairs exceptional pedigree with effortless drinkability, making it an essential bottle for both a casual lunch or a formal dinner.
