San Giovanni Della Sala
Orvieto DOC Classico Superiore
Climate: 2020 will be remembered as a tendentially dry year. The winter, almost completely devoid of rain, was dominated by temperatures that were not too cold. The
spring weather, which arrived slightly later than in previous years, was characterised by mild days and temperatures above seasonal averages, with the exception of a few
cooler periods at the beginning of April. Then, from June until almost mid-August, the warm and dry weather led to an early ripening of the grapes. A summer thunderstorm
towards the end of August refreshed the later varieties such as Grechetto and Procanico, ensuring that they reached a good degree of ripeness while maintaining freshness
and fragrance. The harvest of Grechetto, Viognier and Pinot Bianco for San Giovanni della Sala began around the last week of August and ended with the harvest of
Procanico towards the middle of September.
Vinification: on arrival at the winery, the grapes were vinified separately by variety to enhance the varietal characteristics. Part of the must underwent cold maceration,
remaining in contact with its skins for about 6 hours at a temperature of 10 °C, before being combined with the must obtained from the soft direct pressing of the grapes. The
must thus obtained was transferred to stainless steel tanks where alcoholic fermentation took place at a controlled temperature of 16 °C. The wine remained on its lees for a
few months to improve its structure, elegance and minerality until it was blended and bottled.
Historical data: San Giovanni was born from the vineyards of the ancient Castello della Sala from the union of indigenous Grechetto and Procanico grapes with those of Pinot
Bianco and Viognier to tell the Orvieto Classico according to a new style. The first vintage of Castello della Sala Orvieto Classico was 1990.
Tasting notes: San Giovanni della Sala has a light straw yellow colour with greenish reflections. On the nose, pleasant notes of tropical fruit combine with light mineral
sensations. On the palate it stands out for its balance between structure and freshness with good flavour and a pleasant persistence of yellow flesh fruit.
Alcohol content: 12.0% Vol.
