Lazio IGT Bellone Anthium 2019 Casale del Giglio

Anthium is an autochthonous Bellone, a historical variety rooted in the area that extends from the Castelli Romani to the Monti Lepini, in Lazio. Casale del Giglio produces its version, grown and vinified in La Ferriera, in the province of Latina.

It consists of pure Bellone varieties, grapes with a thick skin, high sugar concentration and strong acidity, ideal conditions for creating a balanced and structured wine. The harvest takes place in September, when fully ripe. A vinification in steel follows through the use of indigenous yeasts.

The sight is golden yellow, intense and bright. The nose is made up of exotic ripe fruit such as mango and papaya. The taste confirms the dense and soft character, perfectly balanced by the pronounced freshness.

Tradition has it paired with a fish soup typical of Anzio fishermen, called "Sgavajone soup". Alternatively, it is excellent paired with any other stewed or stewed fish.
