Descrizione

The Chardonnay IGT from Casale Del Giglio presents itself as a clear, pleasant white wine, aimed at those who value immediacy and clean expression. It shows straw-colored highlights; on the nose it offers aromas of white-fleshed fruit, citrus and light floral nuances. On the palate it is marked by measured freshness, with balanced acidity and a central softness that does not overpower the overall picture. The body is medium, the structure well defined without excess, and the clean finish highlights a slight sapidity.

It is suited to immediate, everyday drinking, pairing with fish dishes, light starters, white meats and fresh cheeses; it also works as an aperitif wine for those who prefer unobtrusive profiles. Serving it chilled is recommended to enhance its delicate aromas. For those wishing to try it in different contexts, its versatility makes it easy to match and to offer on many informal occasions.

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.
