| Aging | Once in the winery, the grapes were chilled by lowering the temperature before pressing, preserving the characteristic varietal aromas. After soft pressing, the musts, kept for a few hours at 10°C to allow natural clarification, were transferred to stainless steel tanks, where alcoholic fermentation occurred at a temperature not exceeding 16°C. Once this was completed, the wine was stored at about 10°C to prevent malolactic fermentation and preserve its organoleptic characteristics. The two varieties were finally blended. |

Castello della Sala is located in Umbria, a short distance from the Tuscan border, about 18 kilometers from the historic city of Orvieto. Castello della Sala, a magnificent medieval manor with 600 hectares (1482 acres) of land 229 (566 acres) of which are planted with vineyards, is located halfway between the Paglia river and the summit of Monte Nibbio.
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.
