About this wine

Conte della Vipera is usually a crisp, dry white from Castello della Sala in Umbria, based principally on Sauvignon Blanc with Sémillon. It brings together citrus, white peach and gooseberry notes with floral hints, a gentle mineral edge and lively acidity; the exact blend can vary by vintage. The stated Chardonnay and Tuscany do not match the usual origin and grape composition of this cuvée.
