Bramito Chardonnay 2018

Over 26 generations the Antinori family have built up a reputation for producing some of the world’s finest wines. The current owner is Marchese Piero Antinori, famous for starting the Super Tuscan movement in the 1970s and spearheading a quality revolution in wine. And he has done the same in Umbria. His father purchased Castello della Sala in 1940, where the family turned their attention to making white wines. The first vintage of the great Cevaro was in 1985, with Bramito launched in 1994. The grapes are from younger Chardonnay vines on the estate, the juice part barrel fermented with malolactic to lend a luscious, creamy texture and flavour to the wine. Made by one of Italy’s very best winemakers, Renzo Cotarella, this is a fine white.
