2024 Casale del Giglio 'Satrico' Bianco Lazio

Winemaker Notes:  A bright straw-yellow, this elegant blend reveals a fruity, lightly aromatic yet mineral nose,confirmed on the palate by a pleasing crispness and a lengthy finish. A blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon and Trebbiano Giallo grapes.

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.
