The name Cervaro derives from the noble family who owned Castello della Sala during the 14th century: the Monaldeschi della Cervara. Chardonnay grapes combined with a small amount of Grechetto for a wine designed to age over time and represent the elegance and complexity of a unique place. Cervaro della Sala was one of the first Italian white wines to undergo malolactic fermentation and ageing in barriques, with the first vintage in 1985.
