The renowned Antinori family can trace its wine-making roots back to 1385. They have been one of the most innovative wine makers of the twentieth century, combining Italian with classic French varietals, to make wines such as the groundbreaking and iconic Tignanello. Cervaro della Sala is the Meursault of Umbria. 2014 was the ideal year for whites in Italy and this wine shows intense aromas of citrus fruit, pear and acacia flowers, with a hint of vanilla. It is full-bodied in the mouth and well structured with buttery and hazelnut notes but with pleasing minerality on the finish. Made with 90% Chardonnay, the 10% Grechetto adds freshness. Ideal with chicken and fish with a sauce, shellfish, goat’s cheese or simply as an aperitif.

More Information

Niccolò Antinori bought the fourteenth-century Castello della Sala in 1940, to provide a source of white wines to match the excellence of his Tuscan reds. With the introduction of Cervaro della Sala in 1987, his dream was fully realised: this is one of Italy’s defining whites, as influential and sought after as Tignanello. The vineyards are planted with a mixture of traditional Italian and international varieties, offering a range of wines from the traditional Orvieto to the mould-breaking IGTs.

  • My favourite wine shop.  Fantastic selection of wines for every budget, the staff are knowledgeable and friendly.  Eton Vintners also stock the most amazing hampers at Christmas. I can not resist popping in when I am in the area,  but I mainly take advantage of their excellent home delivery service.

    A lovely wine shop in the centre of Windsor. They had a fairly wide variety of wines for the size of the shop, including an excellent selection of organic/natural wines. I picked up a French wine from Alsace and a Georgian wine and was very happy with both of them.

    The range of wines at Eton Vintners is fantastic! I absolutely love all their vintage wines, what an excellent find. Will definitely be coming back for more.

    I've used Eton Vintners for many years and have always found the staff unfailingly helpful and wise. The wine selection is fantastic - the shop is an Aladdin's cave of variety, plus they take care to avoid mass-produced liquid that passes for wine elsewhere with made-up labels. Highly recommended, especially the Bordeaux selection but all geographies are good. Delivery service is also great - never had a hitch.

    We have been buying wine from Eton Vintners for 10 years now and the owners have advised us on some amazing and unique wine choices
