Tasting Notes: The Casale del Giglio Petit Verdot has a deep crimson color and displays an intense, lingering aroma of red berry fruit, cherry, myrtle and juniper. Elegant and full-bodied, with rich velvety tannins, the wine presents a spicy, white peppery finish.
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.
