Antinori Castello della Sala Muffato White Blend Umbria IGT 2009 500ml Rated 96WA

Wine Advocate Review
Rated 96
The precious 2009 Muffato della Sala (Sauvignon Blanc, Grechetto, Semillon, Traminer and Riesling) is stunning on all levels. Aromas of candied fruit, caramel, honey and marzipan burst from the glass. The mouthfeel is viscous, rich and syrupy - but there's enough acidity to keep it from feeling heavy or fat. The hot 2009 vintage has shaped a spectacular Muffato. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2030.

Wine Tasting Notes
Golden yellow in color with intense aromas and flavors of delicate flowers, honey and fresh, citrus fruit. Though young, this rich dessert wine is already well-balanced with great elegance and complexity, capable of aging further.

60% Sauvignon Blanc 40% Grechetto, Traminer and Riesling
