| History | Tempranillo is a grape variety of Spanish origin cultivated in Ribera del Duero and Rioja. It is a variety that has adapted very well to the breezy Mediterranean climate and to fresh, deep soils, such as those of Casale del Giglio, in the area known as 'Valle' (formerly 'Riserva Bottacci'), where our 'Tempranijo' has found an ideal setting. These optimal conditions allow for a complete phenolic ripening and a great body-fruit balance. |
| Pairings | ‘Tiella di Polpo’ from the town of Gaeta, a local speciality where two rounds of pizza dough are filled with ‘the fruits of land & sea’ and baked as a pie. A ‘one-pot’ recipe traditionally favoured by both farmers and fishermen as a means of preparing a dish which would keep for several days. The story goes that in the 17th century the pie was extremely popular at the Bourbon court of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. |

Description
Still red wine from Lazio, 14.5% ABV, produced by Casale del Giglio. 100% Tempranillo, 2022 vintage. A Tempranijo born in the Agro Pontino region, a region that has adapted to this Spanish grape variety. Vinification involves cold maceration for two days at 10°C, followed by spontaneous and very slow fermentation, starting at 16°C and rising to 24°C, lasting approximately 15–18 days. Only a small fraction, ranging from 15–20% of the total, is aged in cherry barrels, while the remainder is stored in stainless steel tanks. Fruity notes of raspberry, blackcurrant, and forest floor aromas are wrapped in a sweet note of ripe morello cherry. The palate is rich and very concentrated, with spicy and fruity notes, enhanced by a significant presence of very sweet tannins.

| Story | Tempranillo is a grape variety of Spanish origin cultivated in Ribera del Duero and Rioja. It is a variety that has adapted very well to the breezy Mediterranean climate and to fresh, deep soils, such as those of Casale del Giglio, in the area known as 'Valle' (formerly 'Riserva Bottacci'), where our 'Tempranijo' has found an ideal setting. These optimal conditions allow for a complete phenolic ripening and a great body-fruit balance. |
| Harvest | 100% Tempranillo. Obtained from grapes that have reached a fairly advanced degree of ripeness, sometimes with slight drying on the vine. |
| Wine making | Vinification begins with cold maceration for two days at 10 °C. in order to favour a greater extraction of aromas from the skins. Spontaneous and very slow fermentation starting at 16 °C. up to 24 °C. for a duration of about 15/18 days, with submerged cap and periodic délestages* to oxygenate the yeasts. A further maceration phase takes place on the skins, post-fermentation, for a further 12/15 days, to extract the greatest possible quantity of tannins, given that this is a variety with tannins that tend to be very sweet and never in excess. |
| Aging | Maturation in cherry tonneaux only for a small fraction of 15 to 20% of the total, depending on the vintage, while the remainder is kept in stainless steel tanks. |
