Marchesi Antinori / Castello della Sala Bramito Chardonnay 2024

Bramìto della Sala is the "little brother' of the famous Cervaro della Sala. It comes from the younger Chardonnay plots around the medieval Castello della Sala. The style is more modern, fresher and more accessible, but has the same high quality standards. It is a single-varietal Chardonnay from calcareous and clayey soils. It is fermented partly in stainless steel and partly in barriques. The 2024 vintage offers a successful combination of ripe lemon, green apple, pear, peach and a hint of melon combined with vanilla, hazelnut and bread crust. On the palate, it is creamy with subtle wood notes, yet fresh and mineral with fine herbal spice.
