Descrizione

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.

Winery history

The estate is tied to the Santarelli family, whose entrepreneurial roots go back to the original family firm. The Casale del Giglio winery was founded as an independent entity in the Le Ferriere area and has, over the decades, established a program of varietal research and experimentation involving dozens of grape varieties. In recent decades the company has recovered and relaunched local varieties and has complemented its winemaking with cultural and archaeological initiatives linked to the local area.

Production philosophy

The winery adopts an applied research approach, prioritizing quality in areas not yet fully valued, with attention to agronomic sustainability and the rediscovery of indigenous grape varieties, combined with modern production and commercial management.

Terroir and vineyards

The vineyards are located in the Tyrrhenian hinterland of the Agro Pontino, at the foot of the Monti Lepini and under the moderating influence of sea breezes. The estate also manages small terraced vineyards on Ponza for the production of Biancolella. The area is characterised by mild climates, maritime breezes and soils that favour both international varieties and local indigenous 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.
