Descrizione

Nibbio Della Sala from Castello della Sala by Marchesi Antinori is a white wine classified Umbria IGT. It shows a bright straw-yellow colour. On the nose it offers a discreet, measured profile, with hints of white flowers, fresh citrus and sensations of white-fleshed fruit; in the background are light herbal notes and a mineral trace. The overall impression is clean and readily identifiable, suited to those seeking a restrained expression of the territory.

On the palate it reveals good freshness and a lean structure; acidity supports the sip, making it smooth, with a pleasant and persistent finish. It is not a wine of excess, but it pairs well with seafood starters, shellfish, light fish dishes, grilled vegetables and fresh cheeses. Serve chilled, around 8–12 °C, in tulip-shaped glasses to enhance the aromas. Best enjoyed relatively young, it is a versatile choice for informal dinners and seasonal menus.
