“The NV Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Bosco di Gica punches well above its price point, boasting an intensely smoky and mineral expression on the nose that pulls you close to the glass. Beneath, I'm finding notes of pear and sweet herbal tones. It's soothing and creamy yet balanced by brisk acids, as ripe orchard fruits satiate the senses, leaving a salty twang that resonates through the finale. Wow. This is a pleasure to taste.”
— Ian D'Agata (Dec 2020) · Glera with 3-5% Chardonnay

“The most impressive aspect of the Castello della Sala ethos is its ability to reinvent itself. This latest edition of Umbria's headline white is a true delight. Renzo Cotarella and his team have created an Italian masterpiece that is reminiscent of the great whites of Burgundy. The 2023 Cervaro della Sala opens to an elegantly reductive note of flint or crushed granite before sliding gracefully into silky fruit sensations, breakfast pastry and crème fraîche. It offers carefully balanced richness and textural importance. Throughout its many reinventions, this is the best Cervaro della Sala I have tasted.”
— Monica Larner (Nov 2025) · Chardonnay with 5-10% Grechetto

James’s NoteThis is the most legendary Tuscany white by the Antinori family — called the “Montrachet of Italy” — and is a white blend. It would be significantly better than the Undici for only a little more money.

“This is really fine on the palate with wonderfully integrated tannins that give tension and focus. It's medium-bodied with lovely berry, cherry, cedar and spice. Peaches and flower stems, too. Creamy texture. Extremely long and vivid. Structured, but showing beautiful drinkability with wonderful balance and form. One to drink or hold.”
