Made from a refined blend of Grechetto, Procanico, Viognier, and Pinot Blanc, this white wine, typical of the Orvieto region, seduces with its purity and aromatic freshness. The nose reveals notes of white flowers, citrus, and white-fleshed fruits. The palate, lively and balanced, offers a beautiful saline minerality and a subtly almondy finish. It is a wine of immediate pleasure, perfect as an aperitif or with fish, seafood, and plant-based cuisine.

In the heart of the green hills of Umbria, about twenty kilometers from Orvieto, stands the majestic Castello della Sala, owned by the Antinori family since 1940. Surrounded by 200 hectares of vineyards, this 14th-century medieval castle is the cradle of the great white wines of the Antinori house. Situated at an altitude of 400 to 500 meters, the vineyard benefits from a cool climate with pronounced nights and clay-limestone soils rich in marine fossils—ideal conditions for producing wines that are elegant, complex, and naturally fresh.

The Castello della Sala estate embodies the harmonious blend of ancestral tradition and oenological innovation, with particular attention paid to noble grape varieties such as Chardonnay, Grechetto, Sauvignon Blanc, and Pinot Noir. Each wine expresses the uniqueness of this discreet yet highly noble Umbrian terroir.
