Nibbio della Sala 2020 Antinori

Avis professionnels

James Suckling (98)

Softness and roundness to this, as well as freshness, offering aromas of light yogurt with hints of wood and pie crust. It really opens with air to show hazelnuts, stone, cooked apples and gunpowder. Extremely long and flavorful. A great white with soul. A single-vineyard chardonnay from 1.5 hectares. 9,000 bottles made. Very open and beautiful now, but will improve with age.

Marchesi Antinori's latest passion project with only 9000 bottles produced. This wine takes another stab at an elusive goal shared by many of the greatest winemakers in Italy: to create a truly world-class white wine for collectors and connoisseurs. From Marchesi Antinori's Umbrian property Castello della Sala comes this new wine, Nibbio della Sala, made with Chardonnay.
