DESCRIPTION
The name Cervaro derives from the noble family that owned the Castello della Sala during the fourteenth century: the Monaldeschi della Cervara. Chardonnay grapes combined with a small part of Grechetto for a wine designed to refine over time and represent the elegance and complexity of a unique place. Cervaro della Sala was one of the first Italian white wines to carry out malolactic fermentation and aging in barriques with the first vintage in 1985.
SALA CASTLE, Sala Locality - Municipality of Ficulle (TR)
The winemaking cellar is built to fully exploit the principle of gravity and allows the management of the grapes and their maceration without them undergoing mechanical interventions deriving from pumping action on them. The grape harvest is carried out in the very early hours of the morning in order to bring intact fruits to the cellar and not stressed by the highest temperatures of the day. The musts, coming from the skin maceration of the grapes at 10 ° C for about four hours, are transferred by gravity to decantation tanks where they clear up before being transferred to barrique. This is where the alcoholic fermentation takes place followed by the malolactic fermentation
Usually after five months the Chardonnay is ready to be transferred back to steel to unite with the Grechetto, which is instead vinified separately and in the "absence" of wood. Subsequently the Cervaro della Sala refines for a few months in the bottle in the historic cellars of the Castello della Sala before being released on the market.
The Cervaro 2018 has a bright straw yellow color with some greenish hues. The nose expresses slightly toasted notes accompanied by aromas of citrus and exotic fruits and very light buttery sensations. On the palate it expresses an excellent flavor and freshness, with hints of chamomile, white fruit and flint followed by a pleasant persistence and gustatory depth. His youth, already pleasant and inviting, reveals the great potential for aging. It is a still young wine that will be able to evolve well in the years to come.
