Lazio Shiraz IGT 2023 - Casale del Giglio

Ruby red with purple nuances, it expresses very intense aromas in the nose and nicely persistent fruit. Currants, blueberries and cherries, cardamom and cinnamon open up to a smooth and warm palate, with a good tannic structure, characterised by a certain return of black pepper in the finish.

Served throughout a meal, the Shiraz of Casale del Giglio pairs well with meat dishes, including cold meats (carpaccio, etc.). Also worth trying with grilled tuna fillet.
