The Marchesi Antinori Castello della Sala Pinot Nero 2022 is an exceptional Italian red wine from Umbria that impressively demonstrates that great Pinot Noir wines can also be produced in a land of white wines. The majestic Castello della Sala, close to the border with Tuscany and around 18 kilometers from the historic town of Orvieto, is one of the Antinori family's most impressive estates. The Castell's vineyards cover 229 hectares of vines, nestled in gentle hills at an altitude of 220 to 470 meters. The clay and limestone soils, rich in shell fossils, as well as the significant day-night temperature differences create ideal conditions for elegant, aromatic wines.
Although the area is historically known for its white wines, the Pinot Nero della Sala impressively demonstrates that the grape variety finds its full expressive power here. The grapes come from four hectares of hillside vineyards, the vines of which are planted in gently curving terraces. Targeted foliage work protects the grapes from too much sunlight, which preserves their freshness and aroma. After gentle cold maceration, alcoholic fermentation takes place at 26 °C in small stainless steel tanks, after which the wine matures in 228-liter wooden barrels, where malolactic fermentation also takes place. After a few months in the barrel, the wine rests in the historic cellars of the Castello for further refinement before being released for sale. The result is an elegant, profound Pinot Noir that is already ready to drink, but also has remarkable ageing potential.

- 94+/100 points Heiner Lobenberg (automated translation) Tasting notes:
The Castello della Sala Pinot Nero 2022 presents itself in the glass in a radiant garnet red. The bouquet seduces with a delicate scent of violets, roses and red berries - including redcurrants and wild strawberries - accompanied by notes of pink pepper and a hint of coriander. On the palate, it is intense, supple and harmonious, with finely structured, silky tannins and a long, balanced finish. The taste is elegant and complex, with a perfect balance between fruit, spice and delicate wood maturity - an expression of the highest precision and finesse.
The Antinori Pinot Nero della Sala 2022 is a versatile accompaniment to tender meat dishes such as veal fillet, venison medallions or saddle of lamb. It also unfolds its full aroma with grilled poultry, risotto with wild mushrooms or pasta with truffles. It also harmonizes perfectly with medium-aged cheese or a fine charcuterie platter. It is also ideal with a festive menu or a special dinner for two. At a serving temperature of 16-18 °C, it reveals all its elegance - a red wine with character and depth that captures the soul of Umbria in every bottle. (automated translation)
