Description
"Bramito della Salais produced from the vineyards surrounding the medieval castle at Castello della Sala. One variety that thrives in this terroir is Chardonnay. The vineyards are on soils rich in fossil deposits with veins of clay that give the wine minerality and elegance. Bramito della Sala’s first vintage was 1994. Freshly harvested grapes were brought to the cellar, destemmed and gently crushed. The must and the skins were chilled to a temperature of 10 °C (50 °F) for a short period of maceration, approximately 2-4 hours, to enhance flavors and extract the grape variety’s aromatic profile.
Bramito della Sala is an intense and bright straw yellow color. The nose delivers fresh aromatic notes of Golden apples and hawthorn together with hints of lemon pastry cream, vanilla, and biscuit. The palate expresses the full varietal character of Chardonnay with its creamy mouthfeel and sapidity accompanied by light hints of citron zest." - Winemaker Notes
