Bright straw yellow color with delicate green hues.
Palate
The palate is mouth-filling with a well-balanced structure that combines freshness and suppleness. The palate closes with lively acidity and impressions of citrus fruit for an appealing, harmonious finish.
Nose
The nose offers a refined aromatic profile: elegant notes of white flower blossoms are accentuated by fruity hints of white peaches and citrus fruit especially limes and yellow grapefruits
Winemaking
The grapes were brought to the cellar and each individual grape variety was fermented separately to enhance their unique varietal characteristics. Part of the must was cold soaked on the skins for about 6 hours at a controlled temperature of 10°C and then blended with the other part that was only gently pressed. The blended must was then transferred into temperature controlled stainless steel tanks where alcoholic fermentation took place at a temperature of 16°C. The wine was left to age on the lees for several months and up until the final blending and bottling to enhance its structure, elegance, and mineral characteristics.
San Giovanni is produced from the vineyards surrounding the medieval castle at Castello della Sala and is a blend of indigenous varieties, Grechetto, Procanico with Pinot Blanc and Viognier; a new interpretation of the Orvieto Classico appellation. The first vintage of Castello della Sala’s Orvieto Classico was 1990.
