“Conte della Vipera” Bianco Umbria IGT 2023

Castello della Sala | Antinori | Umbria
Marchesi Antinori S.p.A. | Piazza Antinori 3 | IT 50123 Firenze

Conte della Vipera is a tribute to the first owners of the castle and the label refers to the 13th century chapel of St John, which is located on the estate. The vineyards are situated at an altitude of 250 to 350 metres above sea level on soils rich in fossilised marine deposits.

The sophistication of this wine is largely due to the composition of the grape varieties: fresh, vertical and aromatic Sauvignon Bianco, soft and tropical Sémillon. Straw yellow in colour with bright green reflections. The bouquet is full and broad and pleasant with notes of flowers, white fruit and pineapple, which combine with citrus notes. A pleasant freshness on the palate, then notes of bergamot and grapefruit on the final. SUPERIORE.DE

"Brilliant straw yellow with white-golden nuances. Intense nose of ripe apricot, meadow herbs and a hint of beeswax. Very direct and fruity on the palate with grapefruit flavours and racy acidity right through to the finish." Falstaff

"The 2023 Conte della Vipera is thoroughly savoury, with dusty dried flowers, wild herbs and crushed green apples. It soothes with its cooling acidity, while a wave of tart fruit and minerals drench it. The lemony concentration tingles the cheeks as the 2023 tapers off with a medium length yet lingering tension that calls the taster back to the glass for more." Vinous

"Lean, balanced and fresh, with fragrant chive blossom, grapefruit peel and white pepper accentuating the ripe green melon and peach flavours. Flinty finish." Wine Spectator
