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.
Tasting Notes: The Casale del Giglio Cesanese has a deep ruby red color in the glass. Intense aromas of Marasco cherry, typical of late ripening varieties, is evident followed by spicy notes of white pepper, black pepper and violet. The mouthfeel is soft, with persistent tannins and pronounced acidity, essential criteria for long aging.
