Description

White grape variety originating from the Rhone Valley which has spread to the South of France.
Famous is the prestigious 'Condrieu'.
Very resistant to drought, it adapts well to hot climates.
The ripening grapes take on a deep yellow color and the bunches are rather compact.
It loves loose and not very fertile soil which allows for slow and gradual maturation, thus enhancing the aromas of peach and apricot.


GRAPE VARIETIES AND WINEMAKING

100% Viognier.
White vinification with grapes harvested in two stages: a first fraction at the moment of optimal ripeness to preserve good acidity and thus highlight the varietal characteristics.
A second part when the grapes are very ripe (slightly overripe).
These grapes are subjected to a short cryomaceration (cold maceration) at 7/8° C. for 8-10 hours.
In the latter case, a soft and slow pressing follows.
Fermentation starts spontaneously and lasts for about 10 days at a temperature of 17/18° C.
Storage in a stainless steel tank on its yeasts until the following spring at a low temperature (8/10° C.) to avoid malolactic fermentation.
Bottling at the end of March.


ORGANOLEPTIC EXAMINATION

Bright yellow colour, with very clear floral notes of white rose petals, lime tree, acacia and broom.
In the mouth there are very pronounced fruit sensations of peach and apricot.
Together they produce a great aromatic sweetness perfectly balanced by good freshness and persistent minerality.


SUGGESTED MATCHES

Raw fish from the coasts of Lazio or otherwise Sashimi.

Lazio

Casale del Giglio

Casale del Giglio was founded in 1967 by Dr. Berardino Santarelli, originally from Amatrice, and is located in the Agro Pontino in the locality of Le Ferriere, Municipality of Aprilia, in the province of Latina, about 50 km south of Rome.

This territory represented, compared to other areas of Lazio and other regions of Italy, an environment to be explored from the point of view of wine.
For this reason, the “Casale del Giglio” research and development project was launched in 1985, authorized by the Agriculture Department of the Lazio Region.
