Marchesi Antinori Cervaro della Sala 2007
Like almost everyone even when I buy a wine I’m pretty careful about what I spend. Not many wines worth spending between 30 and 40 € (50 bucks more less) but surely Cervaro della Sala Antinori is one of those wines that you can spend this amount. This wine is composed for 80% Chardonnay and 20% from Grechetto, a vine native to the Umbria. Shows a beautiful golden color. The nose is an explosion of scents ranging from notes of fresh citrus, vanilla and hazelnut, I think mainly due to the aging in cask, which however is well integrated into the complex olfactory. Has a full flavor and fruity but not cloying like many Chardonnays, well balanced, a great wine.
Do you still think the price is high? trust me it’s worth.
Rate 5/5

To be honest, it worth! Beside this, you are buying a traditional Winery with a lot of prestige worldwide and recognized for being one of the starters of the Super Tuscans with Tignanello, so it means that you as consumer will have a guarantee and a background of quality in the Antinori Wines, (all of them!).
I’ve tried this one, as the rest of the Collection from this brand, and all of them have a perfect relation between quality and cost. The same thing happens with the wines from Castello di Banfi. So try it! This white wine will pair greatfully with some fish or shrimps au gratin!
