Description
A still red wine from Lazio IGT, 14.5% ABV, produced by Casale del Giglio. Blend: 85% Syrah, 15% Petit Verdot, 2019 vintage. A wine that embodies the excellence of the Agro Pontino, a unique terroir influenced by the Tyrrhenian Sea. Casale del Giglio was founded in 1967 by Dr. Berardino Santarelli. The grapes are harvested when perfectly ripe, sometimes slightly raisined for the Syrah. The vinification process involves different techniques for the two varietals. The Syrah ferments with indigenous yeasts using the submerged cap technique for 18–20 days. For the Petit Verdot, however, the vinification process uses punch-down fermenters to maximize the extraction of tannins and polyphenolic compounds. Aged in new barriques for 22–24 months, followed by a further 10–12 months of bottle aging. Balsamic notes stand out on the nose, followed by dark coffee beans, violets, and ripe morello cherries. Finally, a strong spiciness of coriander, nutmeg, and cinnamon emerges. A deep, dense ruby color. A fruity and persistent finish.
