Casale del Giglio's Tempranijo is a red wine made from 100% Tempranijo grapes harvested at an advanced stage of ripeness, sometimes after a slight drying on the vine. The vinification process began with a short 2-day cold maceration at 10°C, which favoured the extraction of the grapes' primary aromas. Alcoholic fermentation then took place spontaneously for 15-18 days at a temperature of 16-24°C with maceration of the must in contact with the skins for 12-15 days. Ageing took place for several months in stainless steel and in cherry tonneaux (15-20%). TEMPRANIJO LAZIO CASALE DEL GIGLIO: THE TASTING Casale del Giglio's Tempranijo has an intense ruby red colour. The nose is dominated by wild berries followed by notes of musk, wet earth and dark spices. The taste is intense and concentrated, supported by sweet tannins that invite a second sip. On the table it pairs well with mature cheeses as well as richly seasoned earthy red meat dishes.
