Product Description
A radiant and sophisticated Italian white, the 2024 San Giovanni della Sala Orvieto Classico Superiore captures bright citrus and orchard fruit with refreshing acidity and a refined mineral thread. Elegant yet approachable, it offers clarity of expression and balance that make it versatile at table and compelling on its own.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Crafted by Marchesi Antinori at their historic Castello della Sala estate in Umbria, San Giovanni della Sala represents a signature expression of Orvieto Classico Superiore. The vineyards sit on clay-rich and calcareous soils that impart both structure and lift to the fruit. Moderate Mediterranean influence and cooling breezes allow slow ripening and preservation of natural acidity.
The 2024 blend features a thoughtful assembly of traditional and complementary white grape varieties—principally Grechetto and Procanico (Trebbiano Toscano), with supporting roles from Pinot Bianco and Viognier. Each variety was harvested at optimal ripeness and fermented separately in stainless steel to preserve vibrant aromatics and varietal purity. After fermentation, the components were blended and given time on fine lees to build texture and mid-palate breadth while maintaining freshness and clarity. The overall winemaking approach emphasizes precision, balance, and structural harmony.
Tasting Profile
Nose:
Aromatic and lifted, with bright notes of lemon zest, lime blossom, white peach, and hints of apple blossom, underscored by delicate floral nuance.
Palate:
Medium-bodied and beautifully poised, with crisp citrus and orchard fruit flavors supported by vibrant acidity and a gentle mineral thread. Lees-derived texture adds a silky mid-palate without overwhelming the core fruit.
Finish:
Clean, refreshing, and persistent, with lingering citrus peel and stone fruit that taper gracefully, leaving a lively impression of purity.
