Bramito della Sala

Very bright straw yellow. Clear and fragrant on the nose, white peach, pear and banana, white flowers at the end. Juicy and clear on the palate, spreads with crisp fruit over the tongue, slightly salty, harmonious finish.

From Antinori's Umbrian estate, Castello della Sala, Bramìto is chardonnay from vineyards around the fossil-filled clay soils surrounding the medieval castle. This was fermented cool, partially in oak (with full MLF) and partially in steel (without MLF) before blending and bottling. Bright with lemon and yellow apple, perfumed with white blossoms, and framed with spiced wood, this has a luxuriant, creamy feel to the fuller, softer palate. This finishes somewhat briefly, but nothing that some butter drawn or poached foods wouldn't take care of.
