LEARN ABOUT THE ORIGINS AND PRODUCTION OF MUFFATO DELLA SALA
The Muffato della Sala wine is made by blending grapes such as Sauvignon Blanc, Grechetto, Traminer, Sémillon, and Riesling. These grapes are grown in the unique area of Castello della Sala near Orvieto. The selection of grapes for this wine has been perfected since 1987, resulting in its delicious taste.
The botrytization process, crucial in making Muffato della Sala, involves the following steps:
Ideal Conditions: The process begins with the right environmental conditions, especially the morning fog typical of the wine's region, which encourages the growth of the noble rot fungus, Botrytis Cinerea, on the grape skins.
Development of noble rot: This beneficial fungus penetrates the grape skins, initiating a natural dehydration process.
Concentration of flavors: As the grapes lose water, their sugars, acids, and flavors become more concentrated, leading to a richer and more intense taste profile.
Careful harvesting: The affected grapes are harvested at just the right time to ensure the perfect balance of sweetness, acidity, and flavor.
Unique taste profile: The result is a wine with enhanced sweetness, complex aromas, and a deep flavor, unique to the botrytization process.
