The 2022 Muffato della Sala entices, mixing savory and sweet. A gorgeous cascade of tropical melon, peaches and mint comes together with ginger and lemon zest. This is weighty upon entry, nearly creamy in feel, yet finds lift through a core of zesty citrus and mineral tones. Brilliant acidity adds an abundance of energy. A liquid oral concentration lingers along with lemons as the 2022 finishes long yet wonderfully refreshing. White raisin hints linger on and on. The Muffato della Sala finishes at just 85 grams of residual sugar per liter, imparting it with an adorable sweetness while remaining perfectly balanced. Drinking Window 2024-2038.
Wine Tasting Notes
Antinori Castello della Sala Muffato White Blend Umbria IGT 2022 is an exquisite wine, showcasing an intense bright golden yellow hue. On the nose, it offers enticing notes of ripe tropical fruits like pineapples, mangoes, apricots, peaches, and citrus zest, beautifully complemented by hints of honey, caramel, butter, and spicy undertones of saffron and ginger. The palate is pleasantly dense and full-bodied, with a superb balance between sweetness and acidity. The long finish delights with flavors of honey, jam, dried apricots, and candied fruit.
Varietal Composition: Traminer, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Grechetto.

How to Serve Liquor – Quick Tips
- Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
- Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
- Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
- Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
