Marchesi Antinori
Castello della Sala Cervaro della Sala Umbria Chardonnay Grechetto
Preserved Meyer lemon, ripe apple, and a masterful balance of oak, minerality, and Lees makes this a real treat - much better on day two. At this price point stock up. With lobster and richer dishes this big complex ripe wine is a winner

Nov 17th, 2019Powerhouse Umbrian Chard on steroids. Apricots, rich vanilla notes. Probably needed a decant but perfect match for Tuscan appetizers...and for sure tastes best on home field!

Aug 3rd, 2019This was a favorite of the week at the beach. Great acidity to balance out some oak notes, but the finish sang and the wine evolved. Would have blinded this as new world chard if not for the banging acidity.

1 person found it helpfulJul 10th, 2020Nice sweetness combined with some zip. I often don’t care for many straight Chardonnay producers. The mix with Grechetto really balances and adds something. This wine always delivers. Great summertime wine.

Aug 27th, 2021Consistent fantastic. Balanced with a zing. A different kind of chard thanks to the grechetto. Great accompaniment to the fresh fish dinner. Bright and nice acidity.
