TASTING NOTES
Sirio 2025 Lazio Bianco IGT from Colle di Maggio is a vibrant, mineral white that embodies the essence of Velletri's volcanic terroir in the Castelli Romani. Born from a skilful blend of Chardonnay and Bombino, this fresh wine offers unique elegance and salinity, perfect for aperitifs, light Lazian dishes, or pasta al pomodoro, making it an accessible excellence among Lazio's white wines. Nestled in the Roman hills just 40 km from Rome, Colle di Maggio was born in the 1960s as a wine farm blending art and viticulture: once a salon for celebrated artists, today it's a place of inspiration where artistic labels and organic methods create liquid art. Awarded Gambero Rosso's "Bere Bene 2024", the estate valorises amphorae, fine woods, and hand-harvesting to highlight the volcanic character of the Castelli Romani. The 2025 vintage in Lazio promises to be memorable for IGT whites: a mild, sunny climate favoured healthy, ripe grapes, imparting to Sirio crunchy freshness, balanced acidity, and age-worthy structure that makes it ideal for savouring authentic contemporary Roman cuisine flavours. In Velletri, on the Alban Hills, clay-sandy volcanic soils rich in minerals create the perfect terroir for Chardonnay and Bombino: this gentle Mediterranean microclimate infuses the Lazio Bianco IGT Sirio with saline, fruity notes and persistent minerality that sets it apart among Castelli Romani wines. Chardonnay brings structure and aromatic complexity, while Bombino adds fruity freshness; after hand-harvesting in early September, gentle destemming, and controlled-temperature steel fermentation, the wine rests 8 months on noble lees and 6 in bottle, emerging with refined elegance ready to drink. On the eye, luminous straw yellow with greenish highlights; on the nose, a fresh bouquet of white flowers, Golden Delicious apple, and subtle banana nuances; on the palate, it captivates with fine saline acidity, vibrant freshness, and exquisite balance that invites another sip.
