Castello della Sala Bramito della Sala Chardonnay 2025

Bramito della Sala is a refined Chardonnay from Castello della Sala, the Umbrian estate of Antinori, offering a fresh and contemporary expression of a historic terroir. Made from carefully selected grapes grown beside a medieval castle with centuries of winemaking heritage, it combines elegance, minerality, and precision in a style that feels both classic and modern.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright, luminous straw-yellow color. The nose is clean and expressive, with notes of ripe orchard fruit, citrus, white flowers, and a subtle mineral edge, shaped by the cool Umbrian landscape and the vineyard’s fossil-rich soils. On the palate, it is vibrant and well-balanced, with a smooth texture, lively freshness, and a distinct sense of finesse. The Chardonnay fruit is supported by gentle complexity from partial oak fermentation, while the steel-fermented portion helps preserve purity and tension. It is enjoyable young for its freshness, but can also gain nuance over the next few years.

Production
The grapes come from the Castello della Sala estate in Umbria, where Chardonnay is cultivated on soils rich in fossil sediments and clay, lending the wine its signature minerality and elegance. Harvest begins in the second half of August, with only the healthiest and most aromatic bunches selected and brought to the cellar for gentle pressing. Fermentation takes place partly in wood and partly in stainless steel at controlled temperatures, with malolactic fermentation limited to the oak-fermented portion before final blending and bottling.

Food & Serving
Bramito della Sala is an excellent match for grilled fish, shellfish, seafood risotto, roast chicken, creamy pasta dishes, and mild cheeses. Serve it chilled at around 8-10°C to bring out its freshness and aromatic detail. Decanting is not necessary.

Producer
Castello della Sala is one of Antinori’s most prestigious estates and a landmark name in Italian white wine. Acquired by the Antinori family in 1940, the historic castle and its surrounding vineyards were restored and transformed into a modern, quality-focused winery while preserving the estate’s centuries-old heritage. Today, it is widely recognized for producing some of Umbria’s most distinctive white wines.
