Castello della Sala "Conte della Vipera" Antinori 2024 (750 ml)

Product Info

93 poena - Luca Maroni

Proizveden na istorijskom imanju Castello della Sala porodice Antinori u Umbriji, Conte della Vipera nosi ime prvih vlasnika zamka i kapelice posvećene Svetom Jovanu koja se nalazi na posjedu. Napravljeno pretežno od sorti Sauvignon Blanc i Sémillon, vino je inspirisano velikim bijelim kupažama Bordoa, ali istovremeno izražava svježinu, eleganciju i mineralnost hladnijih brdskih vinograda centralne Italije.

Conte della Vipera 2024 pokazuje briljantnu blijedo-slamnasto žutu boju sa nježnim zelenkastim odsjajima. Miris je živahan i aromatičan, sa notama grejpfruta, limete, bijele breskve, marakuje, zove i svježeg bilja, uz suptilne nijanse mineralnosti i cvijeta citrusa. Na nepcu je vino hrskavo, živahno i veoma skladno, kombinujući osvježavajuću kiselinu sa čistim voćnim karakterom i profinjenom teksturom. Elegantno i izražajno, završava dugim i osvježavajućim završetkom sa postojanim citrusnim, tropskim i slano-mineralnim nijansama.

Profinjeno i veoma svestrano bijelo vino, Conte della Vipera odlično se slaže sa morskim plodovima, školjkama, sušijem, grilovanim povrćem, laganim tjesteninama, svježim sirevima i mediteranskom kuhinjom.

Produced at the Antinori family’s historic Castello della Sala estate in Umbria, Conte della Vipera is named after the first owners of the castle and the chapel dedicated to Saint John located on the property. Crafted primarily from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, the wine takes inspiration from the great white blends of Bordeaux while expressing the freshness, elegance, and minerality of central Italy’s cooler hillside vineyards.

Conte della Vipera 2024 displays a brilliant pale straw-yellow colour with delicate green reflections. The nose is vibrant and aromatic, revealing notes of grapefruit, lime, white peach, passion fruit, elderflower, and fresh herbs, layered with subtle mineral and citrus blossom nuances. On the palate, the wine is crisp, lively, and beautifully balanced, combining refreshing acidity with purity of fruit and refined texture. Elegant and expressive, it finishes long and refreshing, with lingering citrus, tropical fruit, and saline mineral notes.

A refined and versatile white wine, Conte della Vipera pairs beautifully with seafood, shellfish, sushi, grilled vegetables, light pasta dishes, fresh cheeses, and Mediterranean cuisine.
