Radix Bellone

The history of the Casale del Giglio winery has been linked since its origins in the early 1900s to the Santarelli family, into to the world of wine in that of Amatrice. It was Dino Santarelli in 1967 who created Casale del Giglio on an estate in Le Ferriere ad Aprilia in the province of Latina, in a virgin area for viticulture near the ancient city of Satricum. In the 90s, thanks to the innovative vision of his son Antonio, in the wake of his paternal intuition, together with the young Trentino winemaker Paolo Tiefenthaler, he started a forward-looking research and experimentation project on about 60 vines, which brought Casale del Giglio first to the conquest of the local regional market up to a vast national and international development. Today it counts bottles with numerous awards that testify to the incredible creative and entrepreneurial momentum of two visionaries.

The Bellone grapes used to produce Radix are traditionally the best ones, near the sea and grown in the surroundings of Anzio. The maceration takes place in 400 liter barrels in a vertical position and open at the top to obtain the ideal extraction from the skins at an ambient temperature of 18/20 ° C. The alcoholic fermentation in contact with the skins usually lasts two days at room temperature, after which the soft pressing takes place and the wine ferments in tonneaux thanks to the indigenous yeasts for two weeks. It rests in contact with the noble lees for two years without performing malolactic fermentation. The next phase involves passing through the amphora where Bellone breathes and slowly recovers oxygen, reaching the perfect balance. After the clarification of the yeast, the wine ages in the bottle for at least 6 months before being marketed. A complex and excellent drinkable wine, ideal with tasty fish dishes.
