Advice to enjoy this wine at its best.

Let’s talk about Bellone IGT - Anthium - Casale del Giglio

More questions

Anthium is a dry white wine that best expresses the Lazio winemaking tradition, obtained from the vinification of 100% Bellone grapes, a very ancient and resistant native vine, already known in Roman times. The harvest is done manually towards the end of September, followed by vinification with maceration on the skins and fermentation with indigenous yeasts. 

In the glass it shows an intense yellow color with golden reflections. The olfactory profile is seductive, the fruity aromas of well-ripe exotic fruit stand out, including papaya and mango. A dry and fresh sip, quite soft and sapid, with light spicy and floral notes capable of satisfying the palate.

It is recommended to combine it with smoked and grilled fish; it is also perfect with white meats and semi-mature cheeses.

The story
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.
