Antinori’s Castello della Sala wine estate vineyards are planted 1,325 feet above sea-level, offering cool growing conditions for Pinot Noir. This lovely, aromatic wine also had the benefit of the cool 2018 vintage. It has a bright, garnet color and aromas of red cherry, raspberry fruit enhanced with vanilla, baking spices, and dried rose petals. It is light bodied and bright with zesty acidity and supported with refined tannins. Enjoy it with grilled salmon or a roasted pork tenderloin.
