Excellent

Yesterday

Very easy to place your order, prices are good, confirmation and shipping information is quick and the order arrives correct and usually a day sooner than expected. What more could you ask for. I am a new customer and just received my third order. As long as customer service and pricing remains at this level, I have no reason to go anywhere else for my liquor and wine purchases.

They were always perfect, except that one time they sent me white wine instead. Also, they still owe a bottle of southern comfort, when the bottle cap was stripped and would just turn around with never coming off.

2021 Antinori Cervaro della Sala (750ml)

Chardonnay from Umbria, Italy

B-21 Top Recommendation
Read More

Fans of Antinori’s powerful Super Tuscans and Chiantis might be surprised to discover the estate produces one of Italy’s top rated, age worthy Chardonnay wines from its Umbrian estate, the richly textured 97 pt. 2021 Antinori Cervaro della Sala revealing luscious stone fruit hinting of citrus and spice with bright saline acidity on a crisp, refined finish, ranked #58 on James Suckling's Top 100 Italian Wines of 2023 and solidly built to enjoy over the next decade and beyond.

Landlocked Umbria is a lesser traveled gem among Italian wine regions divided by the spine of the Apennine Mountains, its northern reaches near the Tuscan border home to Marchesi Antinori’s magnificent medieval Castello della Sala estate. Spanning a total of 600 hectares, the estate’s 240 hectares of hillside vineyards are situated at an altitude of 220 - 470 meters above sea level, planted in mainly clay and calcareous soils and rich in fossil shells that contribute a distinct minerality to the Cervaro. Composed of mostly Chardonnay matured in a mix of new and used oak barrels and 7% Grechetto fermented exclusively in stainless steel, the enticing 2021 Cervaro della Sala was blended in stainless steel vats before spending several months in bottle prior to release, yielding “a dramatic Cervaro della Sala that has amazing balance” with “silky, verging on creamy textures” according to Eric Guido of Vinous, who sums it up as “pure elegance.”

Described as Marchesi Antinori’s “top white wine” by the Wine Advocate’s Monica Larner, the elegant 97 pt. 2021 Antinori Cervaro della Sala is “a perfect example of the heights that Chardonnay can reach in this region” according to critic Eric Guido, and while often mistaken for White Burgundy in blind tastings, a delicious and uniquely Italian Chardonnay that's a worthy addition to any cellar.

This is very aromatic and lifted with mineral, nougat, floral, and lightly cooked apples. Some flint and matchstick. Medium- to full-bodied with a fine phenolic and acid backbone that energizes the wine. Complex aftertaste with subtle fruit and pastry at the end. This will age beautifully but hard not to drink now.

97 points, James Suckling (Aug 2023)

This wine is mostly Chardonnay with about 7% Grechetto. The presence of the Grechetto has declined quite a bit over the past couple of vintages. Given these tweaks to the winemaking formula, the 2021 Cervaro della Sala promises an exceptionally crisp and linear presentation with salty mineral tones, lots of stone fruit and tart apple. No malolactic fermentation or oak is used on the Umbrian grape that always adds a hint of rusticity and Umbrian authenticity. However, the Chardonnay is fermented in oak and aged in both new and used barrel. In light of climate change, work is being completed to reduce vineyard density, with new plantings going in at 3,500 vines per hectare, down from 5,500 vines per hectare like we saw in the past.
