  Posted: July 26, 2024

  “Once in a while a white wine comes out of Italy that beats even the top white Burgundies ... and this is it!” - Dave Sokolin

  We’re excited to bring you one of the most sought-after Italian white wines, a 98 pointer from the Antinori family, 2022 Antinori Cervaro della Sala. Cervaro della Sala sets the benchmark for Italian white wine. It’s one of our favorite white wines, and it’s certainly adored by our customers - it’s gone as soon as it checks into our inventory.
