San Giovanni Della Sala Orvieto Classico 2025 75cl

San Giovanni della Sala Orvieto Classico

Produced at Castello della Sala in Umbria, this elegant white blends Grechetto, Procanico, Pinot Bianco and Viognier. The vineyards sit around 500 metres above sea level, while separate steel-tank fermentation preserves the individual character of each grape. Aromatic fruit, crisp acidity and a subtle savoury edge create a versatile Italian white.

Tasting Profile:

• Appearance: Bright straw yellow with a clear, youthful appearance.
• Nose: Tropical fruit and ripe pear combine with delicate floral aromas.
• Palate: Medium-bodied and crisp, with citrus, white peach and a subtle mineral character.
• Finish: Smooth and persistent, balancing fresh acidity with a gentle savoury note.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Here are a few serving suggestions and pairing ideas to help you get the most from this white wine, whether you’re enjoying it with food or simply savouring it on its own.

Seafood linguine with prawns, mussels and a touch of lemon is a natural match because the wine's citrus freshness mirrors the dish while its ripe pear character softens the salty shellfish flavours. The mineral edge keeps everything focused and refreshing, especially when served lightly chilled.

Courgette and goat's cheese risotto with fresh herbs works brilliantly because the creamy texture is balanced by vibrant acidity and savoury lift. Gentle floral notes complement the delicate vegetables without overwhelming them, while a final sprinkle of herbs brings everything together beautifully.

Meet The Wine Producer Behind The Bottle

A brief look at the producer’s heritage and winemaking approach.

Antinori

This is one of Italy's historic wine-producing families, with a winemaking tradition dating back to 1385. For more than six centuries, 26 generations have guided the business, combining respect for its Tuscan roots with a willingness to explore new ideas and wine styles.

The family's recorded history began when Giovanni di Piero Antinori joined Florence's Winemakers' Guild. Over the centuries, the Antinoris developed their business while maintaining close links with Tuscany, its vineyards and its cultural heritage. Palazzo Antinori in Florence became an important family residence in 1506, reflecting the family's growing position in the city.

In the twentieth century, the family continued to shape Italian wine through innovation. Niccolo Antinori created Villa Antinori in 1928 as an expression of the family's identity and its interpretation of Tuscan wine. Later, under Piero Antinori, the business helped redefine expectations for Italian fine wine, notably with Tignanello, first released in 1971.

The family has continued to invest in vineyards, wineries and research while preserving its independence and long-term outlook. Today, sisters Albiera, Allegra and Alessia Antinori represent the 26th generation, working alongside chief executive and winemaker Renzo Cotarella.

Marchesi Antinori now manages a wide portfolio of estates and wine brands across Italy and beyond. Its wines range from established Tuscan classics to innovative expressions from other regions, reflecting a family philosophy that values heritage without standing still.
