Casale Del Giglio was founded in 1967 by Dr. Berardino Santarelli, a native of the Appenine hill town of Amatrice. The estate lies between the towns of Aprilia and Latina in the Agro Pontinovalley, some 30 miles south of Rome. Unlike other parts of the Latium region, or other regions of Italy, this terrritory was still uncharted in viticultural terms when Berardino Santarelli and his son Antonio launched their research project in 1985.
