What kind of wine is Lazio Rosso IGT 'Mater Matuta' 2019 - Casale del Giglio?
Lazio Rosso IGT 'Mater Matuta' 2019 - Casale del Giglio is a red wine with great personality, a symbol of Lazio's winemaking excellence. Its name is rooted in mythology: Mater Matuta was the ancient goddess of dawn and protector of nascent life, worshipped in the territories of what is now Agro Pontino. This wine is born from a skilful blend of Syrah and Petit Verdot, two grape varieties that express themselves magnificently in the terroir of Le Ferriere (Latina), yielding a red wine of great body, structure, and aromatic depth.Vintage Details
The 2019 vintage was characterized by balanced climatic conditions, with good temperature swings between day and night that favored optimal grape ripening. The warm, dry days of late summer allowed for the development of intense aromas and soft tannins, while harvesting at perfect phenolic maturity ensured concentration and harmony.Winemaking and Aging
The grapes are harvested manually and subjected to controlled fermentation in steel, with about two weeks of maceration on the skins to extract color, aromas, and structure. The wine then ages for almost two years in new French oak barriques, where it acquires complexity, roundness, and enviable elegance. This is followed by further aging in the bottle, necessary to perfectly integrate the aromatic and tannic components.Tasting Notes
