Casale del Giglio Bellone 2024

In 1967, Dino Santarelli founded Casale del Giglio in Le Ferriere, a hamlet close to the ancient city of Satricum in the province of Latina some 50 km south of Rome. This was a virgin territory, ripe for viticultural exploration, with Lazio not then known as a major export-quality wine region. Since the early 1990s, Dino’s son Antonio and a young enologist Paolo Tiefenthaler from Trentino have achieved remarkable results by experimenting with several non-native international varieties, starting with almost anything they could think of, but eventually concentrating principally on Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Syrah, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon in the province of Latina. The winery is certified organic by Suolo E Natura.

100% Bellone

Deep yellow in color with aromas of ripe tropical fruit such as mango and papaya. Rich, ample and lingering on the palate, with light floral and spicy notes as well as pronounced acidity.
