More questions
Conte della Vipera Umbria IGT, produced at Castello della Sala for Marchesi Antinori, is offered in a magnum format with a wooden case: packaging that highlights the bottle for important occasions and as a gift. In the glass it shows a luminous straw-yellow colour. On the nose it reveals delicate aromas of white flowers, pear and white-fleshed peach, accompanied by light citrus notes and mineral hints that convey immediate freshness. On the palate it displays a harmonious texture, with good acidity balanced by measured softness; the finish is saline and invites another sip.
It pairs naturally with seafood starters, pasta with fish, shellfish and white meats, but is equally pleasant as an aperitif or with fresh cheeses. The magnum format promotes conviviality and sharing; the wooden case underscores its value and facilitates transport and storage. Serve well chilled, at around 8–10 °C, to best appreciate its aromas and balance.

The story
The estate’s winemaking origins are linked to the noble Della Gherardesca family (vineyards since the late 17th century). The property entered the Antinori holdings in the 1930s; the estate’s modern winemaking development took place from the late 1980s–1990s. First documented vintage of Vermentino at the estate: 1996.
Production philosophy
To express the Bolgheri terroir through parcel selection, experimentation in the vineyard and cellar, and practices focused on quality and respect for the territory.
Terroir and vineyards
Located in the Bolgheri DOC (Upper Maremma) on a plain encircled by gentle hills known as the “Bolgheri Amphitheatre.” Climate is moderated by sea breezes; alluvial soils range from sandy-clay to silty-clay with fine gravel (Bolgheri agglomerate), influencing the character of varieties grown (Cabernet, Merlot, Vermentino, etc.).
