Sempre ben riuscito. Meno legnoso rispetto al recente passato. 👍

Tried twice! Chardonnay with up to 10% Grechetto in blend which supercharges the Chard! Pale lemon with aromas of ripe stone and tropical fruits with citrus and floral notes. On the palate flavors of ripe apple, mango and lemon zest with blossom and vanilla spice. Long finish, balanced well with acidity, ending with fruit and floral character. Very Nice!!

A mix of mulled yellow apples, crushed hazelnuts, dusty dried flowers and wet stone creates a rich and inviting display as the 2019 Cervaro della Sala evolves in the glass. It’s soft and enveloping, casting opulent waves of textural ripe orchard fruits and subtle savory spices across the palate. Nuances of wild herbs come together with lingering mineral tones under an air of vanilla custard as the Cervaro della Sala tapers off fresh yet with incredible length. This blend, primarily Chardonnay with a dollop of Grechetto, could use another year or two to fully unwind. (Eric Guido, Vinous, August 2021)
