Producer

Producer

The first vintage produced was 1990. This wine, made exclusively from Pinot Noir, is considered the counterpart to Cervaro: together, they embody the two expressions of the complex and refined spirit of Castello della Sala. Four hectares of Pinot Noir vines extend at an altitude of 400 meters on fossil-rich limestone soils composed of sedimentary sands dating back to the Pliocene.

Owner and history

Castello della Sala is located in Umbria, not far from the Tuscan border, about 18 kilometers from the historic city of Orvieto. domaine of this château The medieval estate covers 600 hectares, of which 229 hectares are planted with vines. These vines flourish on the rolling hillsides that characterize the magnificent surrounding countryside, at an altitude varying between 220 and 470 meters. Castello della Sala offers an ideal terroir for growing white grape varieties. The vines thrive in clay-limestone soils rich in fossilized seashells and benefit from excellent exposure to the rising sun, as well as optimal temperature variations between day and night. Only Pinot Noir, a red grape variety, is an exception: it is the only one to have found ideal growing conditions in this region to fully express its potential.

Vinification and aging

In Castello della Sala, a region historically renowned for its white wines, Pinot Noir offers an authentic and typical expression of its grape variety, imbued with a strong territorial character.

The 4 hectares of Pinot Noir extend up the hillside, sculpting the landscape into a succession of winding terraces.

THE climat The particularly hot weather at Castello della Sala forced agronomists to invent new methods to protect the grapes from the summer sun. The vine shoots are left to grow freely, then bent back over the base of the vine so that the foliage shades the Pinot Noir bunches.
