Persoonlijke gegevens
The label features the San Giovanni Chapel (15th century), which stands on the estate and is of historical value. The name of the wine refers to the rich history of the estate. Castello della Sala is famous for its (pricey) Chardonnay, but this Vipera, made from Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, certainly deserves to be noted as well.
Vipera (the adder) is one of the historical nicknames of the family members who fought for Orvieto. The estate has been in the hands of the Antinori family since 1940. With this wine, they demonstrate that Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon pair excellently here: beautifully fresh, with plenty of ripe fruit and a lovely long finish.
The Conte della Vipera from Antinori's Castello della Sala is a blend of 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Sémillon, and what is nice is that you can clearly distinguish the different characteristics of each variety. The vineyard is situated on a soil rich in limestone. The grapes are harvested by hand and destemmed and crushed upon arrival. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. This is followed by blending and bottling.
The Sauvignon Blanc is most evident in this fresh, elegant wine with floral scents, citrus, and jasmine, while the Sémillon comes in with honey and dry grass or hay. In the glass, Antirnori's Conte della Vipera has a light yellow color with green accents. On the nose, intense aromas of citrus fruit, white peach, and lychee. An elegant taste of yellow fruit and minerals, and a beautifully long finish. Fresh accents give the wine its playfulness.

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | Deze Conte della Vipera presenteert frisse citrus- en bloemige tonen van Sauvignon Blanc met witte perzik, lychee en jasmijn, terwijl de Sémillon warmte toevoegt in de vorm van honing, droog gras en een subtiele mineraliteit en een lange, elegante afdronk. Dankzij die frisse zuurgraad en het rijpe gele fruit snijdt de wijn goed door het vet van gevogelte en lichte romigheid bij schaal- en schelpdieren, vult hij de delicate smaken van witte vis aan en houdt hij salades levendig en fris. Vooral gerechten als gegrilde of in de pan aangebraden kip met kruiden, ceviche of licht gegrilde zeebaars, en coquilles met een zachte beurre blanc of een romige citroenroom werken bijzonder goed met deze wijn. |

The blending formula in the Castello della Sala 2020 Conte della Vipera has been tweaked just a bit to increase the presence of Sémillon, which now accounts for 30% of the blend. The rest is Sauvignon Blanc. This refreshing white was first produced in 1997, and back then the blend saw Sauvignon Blanc paired with Chardonnay. This is a zesty and expressive white with delightful aromas of tropical fruit and tomato leaf, all backed by a pinch of freshly milled white pepper. The added Sémillon builds up the soft fruitiness of the wine in what is an ample 107,000-bottle production from the Antinori family's estate in Umbria.

More information about Antinori
Marquis Piero Antinori is in charge and is assisted by his three daughters: Albiera, Allegra and Alessia. Funny those three A's. We are not going to bother you with all the awards that have been received over the years, because then this price list can no longer go through the letterbox. There are two red wines that are available on allocation and that one would like to get a few bottles from all over the world and that are Tignanello and Solaia and we also have these in our range at Grandcruwijnen.
In 1180, Ugo and Antinori di Rinuccino were officially named as owners of Castello di Combiate; a century later, the family who had moved to Florence were included in the register of the silk trade cooperative. In 1385, Giovanni di Piero, an indirect descendant, entered the wine guild as an apprentice. Since then, the wine-growing tradition of the Antinori family has been continuous. With the establishment of the Marchesi Antinori winery, the peak was reached in 1895 and already in 1898 the winery was built in San Casciano Val di Pesa, which is still the center of the widely branched group of properties in all major cultivation areas of Tuscany, Umbria. , Piemonte (since the early 90s through the purchase of the wine cellar Prunotto), Apulia and even California. The traditional house participating in the modern Tuscan wine-growing revolution owes much of its prestige to its former chief vinologist Giacomo Tachis, who produced exceptional wines such as Sassicaia, Tignanello (especially sangiovese), Solaia (especially cabernet) and many others. the other was responsible. Vinologist Renzo Cotarella also created one of the best chardonnays in Italy in the Umbrian Castello della Sala.
