Muffato della Sala 2009 Umbria IGT MAGNUM

Muffato della Sala 2009 Magnum: sweet wine of great elegance from Umbria

The Muffato della Sala 2009 Magnum by Antinori Castello della Sala is a refined and fascinating meditation wine, an authentic expression of Umbria IGT. It is made from selected grapes harvested in several passes, with the contribution of Botrytis Cinerea, which concentrates sugars and aromas, giving a complex, intense, and recognizable aromatic profile. The magnum version further enhances its evolutionary capacity, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a sweet Italian wine of great personality.

Territory and wine style

The grapes come from the vineyards of Castello della Sala, in a hilly area located between 200 and 350 meters above sea level, on clayey soils rich in marine fossils. This context contributes to giving balance, finesse, and complexity to the wine. The blend combines Sauvignon Blanc, Grechetto, Semillon, Traminer, and Riesling, creating a harmonious whole where the richness of the late harvest meets a freshness capable of supporting the sweetness. The style is that of great botrytized wines: concentrated, elegant, and very persistent.

Tasting notes

In the glass, the wine presents a bright golden yellow color, anticipating a wide and seductive bouquet. On the nose, hints of dried fruit, candied fruit, and yellow flowers emerge, with a rich and mature aromatic definition. On the palate, the Muffato della Sala 2009 Magnum is sweet but well balanced by a decisive freshness, an element that lightens the perception and extends the sip. The structure is enveloping, the aromatic persistence very long, and the finish consistent with a wine capable of evolving over time while maintaining elegance and identity.

Recommended pairings

The Muffato della Sala 2009 Magnum pairs wonderfully with dry pastries, fruit tarts, tarte tatin, foie gras, and blue or very aged cheeses. It is also excellent with desserts based on apricot, peach, honey, and dried fruit, or as a dessert wine served alone. Its aromatic richness and natural freshness make it interesting even with sweet preparations that are not overly sugary, where it manages to maintain balance and finesse.

Serving temperature
