Description
Muffato della Sala is produce from grapes attacked by “noble rot” picked in late October and November when morning fog and mists favor the development on the grape bunches of “Botrytis Cinerea”, this type of rot. It reduces the water content of the grapes and concentrates sugar and aroma, giving Muffato della Sala a balanced and unmistakable character.

The estate’s 229 hectares (566 acres) of vineyards are located at an altitude of 220 - 470 meters above sea level (722-1542 feet) and are planted with traditional varieties such as Procanico and Grechetto but also with Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Sèmillon, Pinot Blanc, Viognier and a small quantity of Traminer and Riesling.
The region is exceptional for producing white varieties with one exception, Pinot Noir, that has found ideal conditions in this terroir to best express its full potential. 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.
