Conte Della Vipera 2022 Umbria Igt Bianco Marchesi Antinori

Conte Della Vipera 2022 is a sublime expression of Umbria, the result of a skillful selection of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon grapes. This fine wine is a tribute to the first owners of Castello della Sala, as symbolized by the enchanting 13th-century chapel of St. John featured on the label.

• Climate: The 2022 vintage was characterized by warm and dry winter and spring periods. Optimal weather conditions contributed to excellent grape ripening, maintaining the health and balance of the vines.
• Vinification: The carefully hand-selected grapes were gently pressed after early cooling to preserve their aromas. Alcoholic fermentation took place at controlled temperatures, maintaining the integrity of varietal characteristics. The combination of the two varieties, Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, has created a wine that is fresh, vertical, slightly aromatic yet soft and tropical.
• Historical Data: The vineyards, located at an altitude of 250 to 350 meters above sea level, are on soils rich in marine fossil sediments. The name “Count of the Viper” recalls the early owners of the castle, and the label features a drawing of the striking 13th-century St. John’s Chapel on the property.
• Tasting Notes: Conte Della Vipera 2022 shows a straw yellow color with bright green reflections. The broad and pleasant bouquet offers floral, fruity notes with hints of pineapple, all accompanied by citrus sensations. On the palate, a pleasant freshness paves the way for a long finish enhanced by hints of bergamot and grapefruit.
