Descrizione

The Rosso IGT Petit Verdot from Casale Del Giglio shows an intense, deep color, typical of the Petit Verdot variety. On the nose it offers notes of ripe dark fruit, balsamic hints and a touch of spice; the aromatic profile remains balanced and not overpowering. On the palate it displays solid structure, pronounced but well-integrated tannins and a freshness that supports the sip, with a persistent, pleasant finish. The purple matrix is accompanied by light herbal nuances that complete the profile.

It pairs well with hearty dishes such as red meats and aged cheeses, but can also accompany mushroom-based preparations or flavorful sauces. Moderate serving temperature and a large glass enhance its aromatic characteristics. For those who prefer riper wines, it can be cellared for a while; those who wish to drink it immediately will find it already expressive. It is also suitable for everyday drinking for those seeking substance without excess. Specific technical information is not reported on the product label.

Winery history

Founded in 1967 by Dr. Berardino Santarelli. In 1985 the estate launched a research and development project, authorised by the Lazio Region, that led to experimental plantings of many varieties (e.g. Syrah, Petit Verdot, Sauvignon, Viognier, Petit Manseng) and to the development of the Agro Pontino area.

Production philosophy

“The future of Italian viticulture relies not only on consolidating the image of its traditional wine producing zones but on its ability to produce top quality wines at favourable prices in areas whose potential is still relatively unexplored.” (from the winery presentation).

Terroir and vineyards

Located in the Agro Pontino valley, between Aprilia and Latina (Le Ferriere), about 50 km south of Rome; maritime-influenced climate. The estate lists about 180 hectares of vineyards, converted to cordon training and planted with both local and international varieties.

Awards and recognitions

Numerous national and international awards. Among the recent recognitions announced by the winery: a Gold Medal for the Chardonnay and a Silver Medal for the Sauvignon, as well as mentions and positive scores in guides and from specialist critics.
