Castello della Sala Bramito Chardonnay 750ml

Discover the refined allure of Castello della Sala Bramito Chardonnay, a standout white wine from Italy's Umbria region. Sourced from the esteemed Castello della Sala estate near the village of Ficulle in the Orvieto area, this 2022 vintage embodies the Marchesi Antinori family's legacy since acquiring the property in 1940. Their approach fuses deep-rooted traditions with forward-thinking techniques, emphasizing careful vineyard management to capture the unique essence of the land.

Pour a glass and admire its luminous straw-yellow hue, touched with greenish reflections that hint at its vibrant youth. The bouquet unfolds with inviting layers: crisp apple and ripe pear lead the way, joined by delicate citrus blossom, a whisper of vanilla, and faint toast. On the tongue, expect a lively dance of freshness and creaminess, where bright acidity meets flavors of white peach, Meyer lemon, and a subtle minerality drawn from Umbria's volcanic soils. This medium-bodied Chardonnay closes with graceful poise, leaving a zesty citrus linger that invites another sip.

James Suckling awarded it 92 points, while Wine Enthusiast gave 91, underscoring its quality among Italian whites. Pure Chardonnay at 12.50% ABV in a 750 ml bottle, it shines best in its early years, full of lively energy.

Elevate everyday meals with thoughtful pairings like grilled chicken drizzled in lemon-herb sauce, asparagus-laced creamy risotto, or seared scallops. These matches amplify the wine's refreshing profile and soft oak undertones, creating harmonious plates that celebrate its character. Whether hosting friends or savoring a quiet evening, Bramito del Fratini offers an accessible entry into Antinori's world-class whites—elegant, balanced, and true to its Umbrian roots.

From the rolling vineyards of Castello della Sala, this Chardonnay captures a slice of Italy's winemaking heritage, ready to grace your table with sophistication and joy.
