Castello della Sala Conte della Vipera 2018
Umbria, ItalyConte della Vipera is a tribute to the original owners of the castle, and its label shows an illustration of San Giovanni’s chapel (Saint John), a small chapel located on the estate. On the whole, 2018 was a cool year in Umbria. The sauvignon blanc grapes were picked near the end of August and concluded with the sémillon harvest towards the middle of September. The grapes are fermented in stainless before they are blended. Fresh, savoury, aromatic sauvignon, blends with a softer, supple, tropical sémillon. On the palate, this wine has an alluring green character mixed with grapefruit and grassy notes all wrapped up in a refined, licorice-flecked jacket. Another wine built for food in that classic Italian way.Tasted: 21 November 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $42.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
