Casale del Giglio

The Santarelli family estate in the Agro Pontino, south of Rome. Dino Santarelli and oenologist Paolo Tiefenthaler planted vines here when the area had almost no wine tradition, and Antonio Santarelli now leads it. Since 2010 the estate has worked to revive native Lazio grapes such as Bellone.

White"Satrico"IGT · 2025 · 750 ml
Grapes & tasting notes
A blend of 40% Chardonnay, 40% Sauvignon and 20% Trebbiano Giallo grapes*. The grapes, harvested just as they begin to ripen, are vinified separately to ensure that the fresh, distinctive aromas of each variety come through in the final blend. Only the very best bunches are selected and after a careful soft-pressing the free-run juice is separated from the skins. A bright straw-yellow, this elegant blend reveals a fruity, lightly aromatic yet mineral nose, confirmed on the palate by a pleasing crispness and a lengthy finish.
RedShirazIGT · 2024 · 750 ml
Grapes & tasting notes
100% Syrah.

Warm and luscious but supported by fine tannins, all the fruit and spice return in the lengthy finish.
Red"Matidia" CesaneseIGT · 2020 · 750 ml
Grapes & tasting notes
100% Cesanese. Vines are spur-cordon trained in a 30 year-old vineyard at 500 metres above sea level. A cold maceration for 6/7 days at 8°C precedes the alcoholic fermentation which takes place over a three week period at a controlled temperature and with repeated punching down. After racking, part of the wine is aged in stainless steel vats and part in oak tonneaux (400 litre casks) for about 12 months. Notes of marasca cherry and a delicate spiciness on the nose are carried forward on a fresh, fine palate with flawless tannins. A fusion of elegance and longevity is achieved by carefully underplaying the ripe fruit notes and richly textured…
White"Bellone"IGT · 2025 · 750 ml
Grapes & tasting notes
Bellone 100% The Bellone grape is vigorous and resistant to drought – a guarantee for wine quality and balance – while its plump, golden yellow, thick-skinned grapes hang in elongated, cone-shaped bunches. Vinification takes place in two stages: first, maceration on the skins to encourage extraction Tasting Note Deep yellow flecked with gold. The wine evokes sunshine and ripe tropical fruit such as mango and papaya, carefully balanced by a marked acidity which makes it suitable for long bottle aging. Rich, ample and lingering on the palate with light floral and spicy notes. Hallmarked by its pronounced acidity and zesty tang. A long finish…
