Casale Del Giglio Società Agricola

Transforming Untamed Land into a Wine Paradise

Casale del Giglio is located in Agro Pontino, approximately 40 km south of Rome. This area, once a swamp, has been transformed into a prime winegrowing region following extensive land drainage. The remarkable adaptation of various grape varieties to the local soil and climate is a testament to the land's potential. Initially, the estate served as a leisure retreat, but the fertile grounds inspired the Santarelli family to embark on winemaking, marking the beginning of a new chapter in this previously uncharted territory.

Renowned Wines from Lazio to the World

Since the early 1990s, Antonio Santarelli, alongside young winemaker Paolo Tiefenthaler, has continued the family legacy of crafting exceptional wines. Their commitment to experimentation and research has garnered recognition for their wines, reaching enthusiasts from Rome to international markets. The region's favorable climate has proven ideal for vine cultivation, with the first 60 experimental vines planted in 1985 laying the foundation for future success.
