Tasting note:

Vintages Wine Panel: Antinori’s family estate in Umbria is Castello della Sala. There, they produce wines such as this fine white, which is an oak-aged blend of Chardonnay and Grechetto. Lovely aromas of yellow plum, spring flowers and woodsmoke are front and centre. This dry, lithe, well-made and impeccably balanced wine is drinking beautifully now or enjoy it over the next 5+ years. My note: A rich and luxurious white infused with hazelnut, smoke, baking spices and baked apples. Full-bodied and voluptuous. Food matches: grilled tuna steaks.

Yes, I'm a certified sommelier and was named the World's Best Wine Writer at the World Food Media Awards. Blah, blah, blah. What really matters is that I know which wines can increase your hedonistic happiness... a lot. Don't worry, spam doesn't pair well with wine!
