CERVARO DELLA SALA
Climate
The 2021 growing season started out with cold winter weather and normal spring conditions. The beginning of April, when budbreak was well underway, brought a sudden drop in temperatures resulting in lower yields but fortunately did not have any adverse effects on the quality of the fruit. The vines’ vegetative cycle was pushed back by about two weeks. May saw limited rainfall with cool temperatures. Summer brought bountiful sunshine and good temperature fluctuations between day and night that allowed the vines to make up for the initial delay and provided perfect conditions for optimal cluster ripening. Beautiful weather from August onward allowed for the berries to be picked at just the right time to obtain the finest expression of varietal aromas. Chardonnay grapes for Cervaro della Sala, exceptional in quality but lower in yields, were harvested starting the third week of August. Grapes were perfectly healthy, at optimal ripeness with excellent freshness and an outstanding aromatic profile. Grechetto berries were harvested 15 days later, towards mid-September.
Castello della Sala
Castello della Sala is located in the Umbria region, not far from the Tuscan border, about 18 kilometers from the historic city of Orvieto. The Medieval castle’s property extends over an area of 600 hectares (1482 acres), 200 hectares (495 acres) are planted with vineyards at an altitude that varies between 220 and 470 meters above sea level (722/1541 feet) on the gently rolling hillsides that characterize the beautiful countryside in this area. Castello della Sala is the perfect place for growing white varieties. The vines grow in clay and calcareous based soils, rich in fossil shells, and they are well exposed to the rising of the sun with an excellent difference of temperature between day and night. The one exception to the rule is Pinot Noir, the only red variety that has found in this area ideal growing conditions to best express its full potential.
Soil
Originating in the Pliocene period, rich in marine fossils with veins of clay.
