From the rolling hills of Umbria comes Cervaro della Sala 2024, a white wine that has helped redefine Italian winemaking for nearly four decades. 🍷✨

Produced at Castello della Sala, the Antinori family’s historic estate, Cervaro della Sala was first introduced in 1985 and quickly earned recognition as one of Italy’s most acclaimed white wines. Crafted primarily from Chardonnay with a small percentage of Grechetto, it was among the first Italian white wines to undergo both malolactic fermentation and barrel aging, setting a new standard for elegance, structure, and longevity.

The 2024 growing season provided ideal conditions, allowing the fruit to develop exceptional freshness and aromatic complexity. Carefully harvested by hand and crafted using a gravity-flow system to preserve the integrity of the grapes, every step reflects Antinori’s commitment to precision and quality.

The 2024 vintage is vibrant and expressive, opening with aromas of pink grapefruit, elderflower, and chamomile, complemented by delicate notes of vanilla and flint. Its freshness, precision, and exceptional balance come together in a beautifully elegant wine that reflects the character of Castello della Sala and the craftsmanship of the Antinori family.

We are sincerely grateful to Marchesi Antinori for their generous support of Grapes for Humanity. Their contribution helps us continue transforming a passion for exceptional wine into meaningful humanitarian and environmental impact. We are also honored to welcome Marchese Piero Antinori, Head of the Antinori family and one of the most respected figures in Italian winemaking, who will be joining us in person to welcome guests and speak about the extraordinary wines featured at the dinner. 🤝🍷

Produced by Marchesi Frescobaldi, one of Italy’s most renowned winemaking families, this exceptional wine is unlike any other. Since 2012, Frescobaldi has partnered with Gorgona, the only island prison in Europe, where inmates spend the final years of their sentences cultivating the vineyard and developing valuable viticulture skills to support their successful reintegration into society.

Crafted from Vermentino and Ansonica grown on a small two-hectare vineyard overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, Gorgona 2024 is the pure expression of its extraordinary island terroir. Iron-rich soils, cooling sea breezes, and meticulous vineyard care create a wine of exceptional elegance, freshness, and balance.

The 2024 vintage opens with delicate aromas of broom and honeysuckle, layered with notes of ripe tropical fruit, bergamot, cedar, and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, vibrant minerality and refreshing salinity are complemented by remarkable persistence and harmony, resulting in a beautifully refined wine that captures the essence of this one-of-a-kind island.

Our sincere gratitude to Marchesi Frescobaldi for their generous support of Grapes for Humanity and for helping us transform a passion for fine wine into meaningful humanitarian and environmental impact.

We were deeply moved by this reflection from Bella, who volunteered with Phoebe at our projects in Cambodia. LaValla School and the Children’s Surgical Center. 📃

As two pre-med students, they traveled with a desire to serve and left with something even greater: a new understanding of resilience, gratitude, and the human spirit.

At LaValla School 📚, they were inspired by children whose joy, laughter, and determination transcended physical challenges. At the Children’s Surgical Center, they witnessed extraordinary courage in patients facing pain and hardship with quiet strength and dignity.

Bella shared that the experience changed her perspective forever! Reminding her that resilience is often not loud, but found in simply showing up each day with hope. 👏

We are so proud of these remarkable young women and grateful they chose to share their compassion with our friends in Cambodia 🇰🇭👏
