Cervaro della Sala is a fine white wine produced with Chardonnay grapes and a small part of Grechetto. It was among the first Italian white wines to undergo malolactic fermentation and aging in barrique, acquiring a great capacity for evolution over time. Pale straw yellow in color with slight greenish reflections, it has a complex bouquet of citrus, fruits, and white flowers; on the palate it is savory and mineral, with great structure and persistence. It was, in fact, one of the first Italian white wines to be fermented and aged in barrique. The famous winemaker Renzo Cotarella produced the first vintage of this great wine with Chardonnay grapes in 1985, with the idea of producing a white wine suitable for long aging. The experiment was a complete success. The 2018 vintage is born in Umbria from Chardonnay grapes with a small part of Grechetto harvested between the end of August and the first half of September. The Chardonnay undergoes alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in barrique, then ages for another 5 months, after which it is blended with 10% Grechetto, which ferments in steel. It then spends another 12 months in the bottle before being marketed.
