Latina With your hands

Guided cellar visit and tasting at Casale del Giglio

Latina

Nothing made wine on this plain until somebody decided to try, within living memory. Casale del Giglio planted where the marsh had been drained, and the cellar at Le Ferriere is what came of it.

How the day goes

  1. Through the cellar, guided, on ground that was swamp before the reclamation.
  2. A tasting of whichever vintages are open that day.
  3. They will guide in English, French or German if you say so when you book.

It is a booking-only cellar and they want notice, so fix this date before you plan the rest of the drive south.
