ADDITIONAL NOTES:

The Cervaro della Sala dei Marchesi Antinori was born in vineyards located in the land surrounding the Castello della Sala, located in Umbria. The name derives from the noble family who owned the castle in the 14th century, the Monaldeschi della Cervara.

It is mainly produced with Chardonnay and Grechetto grapes, harvested overnight and refrigerated to preserve its aromas, before pressing and destemming.
