Antinori Castello della Sala 2023 Conte della Vipera Umbria IGT
Italian White
Straw-yellow colour with bright green hues accompanies pink grapefruit, lychee, sage and elderflower. The palate is supple and fresh, with lime and pineapple in the finish. Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon are hand harvested, cooled before gentle pressing and fermented in stainless steel below sixteen degrees Celsius. The wine is then held at about ten degrees to prevent malolactic fermentation.

Antinori 1998 Solaia Toscana IGT
Italian Red
Blackcurrant and dark cherry are layered with tobacco, earth, mint and a measured touch of vanilla. The palate is full-bodied and concentrated, with Sangiovese bringing sour-cherry lift and fresh acidity to the Cabernet-led structure. Firm tannins remain composed through a long, savoury finish, with coffee and warm spice emerging in the glass. Decant carefully and serve with roast beef, lamb or aged Pecorino.
