Vineyard and terroir
The fruit is grown in the province of Latina, Lazio, where Casale del Giglio has cultivated the variety since 1985.
Vinification
Only very ripe grapes are selected. They undergo two days of cold maceration at approximately 10 °C to draw out the variety’s characteristic aromas and colour. Fermentation lasts 10–12 days at 26–28 °C, with regular tasting, particularly during its early stages. The must is then transferred by gravity to stainless-steel tanks for malolactic fermentation.
Ageing
The wine matures in barriques for 8–12 months, followed by six months in bottle.
Tasting profile
Juicy, warm and aromatic.
Label / history
The 2016 vintage received gold medals at Mundus Vini 2018 and the Sakura Japan Women’s Wine Awards 2018.
