Descrizione

The Sauvignon IGT from Casale Del Giglio offers a fresh, recognizable profile characteristic of the variety. On the nose there are herbaceous notes and white-fleshed fruit, accompanied by light citrus hints that bring lift and clarity. The aromatic range remains restrained and not overly complex, favoring drinkability and ease rather than opulence.

On the palate it is saline and dry, with a balance between acidity and body that makes it suitable for varied pairings. It pairs well with seafood starters, light fish dishes, salads and mildly spiced vegetarian preparations. A cool but not icy serving temperature is recommended to appreciate its freshness and aromatic details. Well suited to everyday drinking and informal occasions when an aromatic, approachable bottle is desired. It shows best in a tulip-shaped glass and is preferably enjoyed young to capture its characteristic freshness.

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.
