CASALE DEL GIGLIO WINE MERLOT LAZIO 75 CL

The Merlot Casale del Giglio red wine (IGT-IGP) is obtained from pure Merot grapes, vinified with different techniques based on the vintage, to always guarantee the same quality standard. The vinification can take place in traditional red with pumping over and de'lestage, in order to oxygenate the fermenting must, favoring a greater stability of color and tannins, making them soft and velvety. Alternatively, using the submerged cap technique, it is possible to carry out longer macerations (15-20 days), thus obtaining wines of greater structure and duration. It was introduced in Agro Pontino in the Thirties after the reclamation of the Pontine Marshes and in 1966 it was recognized with the Controlled Designation of Origin. Never properly exploited in the past, it was, however, subsequently, thanks to the research and experimentation project 'Casale del Giglio' which made it possible to identify, for this variety, the most suitable combination between rootstocks, clones and form of breeding, in order to obtain high quality grapes. Intense ruby red color with a scent of small red fruits and cherries, the Merlot Casale del Giglio is a structured and soft red wine. At the sip you can feel the typical herbaceous sensations characteristic of Merlot. 75 cl glass bottle
