San Giovanni della Sala 2025 from Castello della Sala is an elegant Umbrian white wine that combines the traditional character of Orvieto Classico with a modern, precise style. It is made from Grechetto, Procanico, Pinot Bianco and Viognier grown in vineyards surrounding the historic Castello della Sala. The estate lies near Orvieto, in an area characterised by clay and limestone soils with marine fossil deposits. The different grape varieties are vinified separately to preserve their individual characteristics. Part of the must undergoes a short cold maceration before fermentation. Vinification then continues in stainless steel tanks. Several months of ageing on the lees add elegance, structure and a refined mineral expression. In the glass, the wine shows a bright straw-yellow colour with delicate greenish highlights. The nose reveals white flowers, white peach and fresh notes of lime and yellow grapefruit. On the palate, it is enveloping and balanced, fresh yet smooth, with lively acidity, fine citrus nuances and a pleasantly persistent finish.
