Bianco Umbria IGT - Conte della Vipera - Castello della Sala - Antinori is a white wine of great elegance and finesse, produced in the Umbrian lands of Castello della Sala, one of the pearls of the renowned Antinori winery. This wine represents a tribute to the winemaking tradition of the Antinori family, combining oenological innovation and respect for the terroir.
Conte della Vipera is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, two varieties that find an ideal terrain in Umbria to best express their characteristics. The name of the wine is inspired by one of the first historical labels of Castello della Sala and pays homage to Count Edoardo della Vipera, ancestor of the Antinori family.
This wine is characterized by its bright straw yellow color, with greenish reflections that anticipate its freshness. On the nose, Bianco Umbria IGT Conte della Vipera reveals a complex and intensely aromatic bouquet, where notes of tropical fruits and citrus fruits blend with floral and vegetal nuances, typical of Sauvignon Blanc, enriched by a light touch of vanilla and toasting due to the 'aging in wood.
In the mouth, the wine surprises with its elegant structure and balance, with a lively freshness that harmonises perfectly with the softness and roundness given by the Sémillon. The aromatic persistence is remarkable, with a long and pleasantly mineral finish that invites another sip.
Conte della Vipera pairs beautifully with fish dishes, shellfish, light first courses and fresh cheeses, managing to enhance the variety of ingredients with its complexity and freshness.
