Casale del Giglio: wines of Lazio born in a territory to be interpreted
The Casale del Giglio collection gathers some of the most interesting expressions from a winery that symbolizes Lazio, capable of enhancing the Agro Pontino with a modern, experimental approach deeply connected to the territory. From research on white grape varieties to reds of great personality, the selection tells a productive vision focused on quality, identity, and a balanced relationship between style and drinkability.
Founded in 1967 by Dr. Berardino Santarelli, the winery developed in Aprilia, in the Le Ferriere area, in a region influenced by the Tyrrhenian Sea and historically little explored from a winemaking perspective. This particularity has made Casale del Giglio a pioneering project, capable of introducing international and native varieties in a context where the oenological potential has been interpreted with rigor and continuity.
The wines in the collection
This selection includes white, rosé, and red labels that well express the winery's style. Among the whites, standout wines include Petit Manseng 2024, Bellone “Anthium” 2024, Faro della Guardia 2024 based on Biancolella from Ponza, Radix 2019, Viognier 2024, and Antinoo 2022. On the red side, the offering includes Matidia Cesanese 2022, Petit Verdot 2023, and Mater Matuta 2018, labels that convey structure, precision, and a contemporary profile of Lazio wine.
The style of Casale del Giglio
The distinctive feature of the winery is its ability to combine oenological research with an understanding of the territory. The cultivation models adopted are inspired by realities such as Bordeaux, Australia, and California, but are translated coherently with the Agro Pontino and its coastal influence. The result is recognizable wines, often aromatic and taut in the whites, deeper and more dynamic in the reds, with a focus on balance, expressive clarity, and stylistic coherence.
When to choose these wines
The Casale del Giglio wines are ideal for those seeking versatile yet non-trivial bottles, suitable for both everyday dining and more refined occasions. The whites pair well with seafood appetizers, raw fish, Mediterranean dishes, and fresh cheeses; the reds accompany white meats, flavorful preparations, and medium-structured dishes. The more complex labels, such as Mater Matuta or Radix, are perfect for those wishing to explore the more evolved and territorial side of Lazio production.
