Tasting Notes: The Casale del Giglio Lazio Bellone shows a deep yellow color 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 and a long finish.
Estate History: As a child the fields of the family estate, Casale del Giglio, were nothing more to Antonio Santarelli than a place where he could spend carefree; but all that changed when he joined his father Dino in the family business. By then, a shrewd twenty-five-year-old, he knew instinctively that their unconventional land in the Agro Pontino valley, some 30 miles south of Rome, offered a unique opportunity to have free rein and experiment with the planting of close to 60 different experimental vines.
