Castello della Sala Muffato della Sala 2020

Antinori's Muffato della Sala is a fascinating dessert style wine made from a blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Grechetto, Traminer, Sémillon and Riesling all affected by Botrytis Cinerea (noble rot). The morning mists and local microclimate favour the development of this rot which reduces the water content of the grapes. The resulting concentration of sugars and aromas give the Muffato its special and unmistakeable flavour. A wonderful golden yellow in colour, the wine shows an important aromatic and flavour complexity characterised first by floral and honeyed aromas and then fresher notes, citric and mineral in the bracing savour they bring to the wine. Though still young, the wine is already balanced but is destined to evolve over time and greatly increase in complexity.

Vintage Availability

We endeavour to display accurate and current vintages on all our wines listed on the website; however, from time to time stocks of the vintage listed do become exhausted. If this is the case with your order we will always contact you to recommend another vintage of the same wine, if it is still available. If the vintage of a wine is important to you then please leave a note at checkout advising us of this. 

 

Stock Availability

As we are retail stockists, selling from our Ledston shop as well as online, it makes it difficult for us to show a 'real-time' inventory of our wines and spirits online. As such, very occasionally, a wine may be out of stock that the website has allowed you to order.

To ensure a timely delivery, we are happy to substitute your order with a similar wine of equal or higher value and at no additional cost to you!

If this is not an acceptable solution please advise us in the 'Add A Comment' section at the checkout.
