Casale del Giglio's Shiraz is rooted in the experimental project that introduced Syrah to the Agro Pontino in 1985. The 2025 vintage presents the grape in a Mediterranean style, combining ripe fruit, spice and a soft yet well-supported structure.

Dark fruit, spice and Mediterranean character

The colour is ruby red with violet highlights. The nose shows blackcurrant, blueberry and sour cherry, alongside cardamom and cinnamon. The palate is warm and supple, with a good tannic framework and a finish marked by black pepper.

Winemaking and ageing

Made from 100% Syrah. The grapes undergo two days of cold maceration at around 10 °C, followed by red-wine fermentation with regular punch-downs and délestage. Fermentation lasts about 10-12 days at 26-28 °C; after racking, malolactic fermentation takes place in stainless steel. The wine then ages in barriques for 8-12 months followed by a further 6 months in bottle.

Food pairing

The winery recommends grilled tuna steak, a pairing that works well with the wine's supple texture, spicy profile and tannic structure without relying exclusively on meat-based dishes.
