Tasting notes
The Umbrian Conte della Vipera of the Marchesi Antinori takes its name from the first owners of the Castello della Sala, the Monaldeschi della Vipera family. It is mainly produced with Sauvignon Blanc grapes and Sèmillon grapes, harvested strictly by hand. After the soft pressing of the grapes, the must ferments in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 16°C, and then the wine ages in the same containers at a controlled temperature of 10°C before being bottled. Conte della Vipera is characterised by a straw yellow colour with greenish reflections. The nose opens with intense citrus aromas, enriched by pleasant and light nuances of boxwood. On the palate, it is well structured and harmonious, savoury and sweet at the same time, with an aftertaste reminiscent of grapefruit.
