Ep. 1035 Elise Rialland | Wine, Food & Travel With Marc Millon

Welcome to Episode 1035 Marc Millon interviews Elise Rialland of Casale del Giglio in this episode of Wine, Food & Travel with Marc Millon on the Italian Wine Podcast. More about today’s winery: Casale del Giglio has always been motivated by the desire to produce top quality, fairly-priced wines in a swathe of land, the Agro Pontino, little known until recently for its viticutural potential. The aim of the experimentation programme, conducted in 1985 on 180 acres of vineyard, has been, and still is, twofold: first to favour those cultivars which, by their nature and through targeted management, have proved to interact most successfully with the soil and climate of the territory; second to rediscover and restore the status of native vines once thought to be obsolete, such as Biancolella di Ponza, Bellone di Anzio, Cesanese di Olevano Romano and Pecorino di Accumoli.
