Shit. Sorry about the label. Not sure how we missed that
Ha,@Stanley Barrios, I didn’t even notice until I was taking the picture. It didn’t negatively impact the wine in any way and that’s what counts!

A bit too big for us. Well made though., — 3 years ago
Dis the wine list percentages of varietals and do you think the 'big' structure came from Syrah?
@Andrew Holod yep. 50/50. Also, yes. More ripe than tannic tho.

ANTHIUM 2024, Bellone, Lazio IGP, Italy 🇮🇹
Overview
100% Bellone from Lazio, crafted by Casale del Giglio. An indigenous grape with ancient Roman roots, bottled at 14% ABV and expressing the full tropical and mineral personality of this historic variety.
Aromas & Flavors
Explosive tropical aromatics, mango, papaya, ripe pineapple, and golden peach — leap from the glass with remarkable intensity. Beneath the exuberant fruit lies a subtle mineral undertone that keeps everything focused and grounded.
Mouthfeel
Textured, vibrant, and rhythmically expressive. The palate mirrors the nose with precision, delivering layered tropical richness balanced by freshness. The finish lingers confidently, long and resonant without heaviness.
Food Pairings
Grilled prawns, Caribbean-spiced fish, roasted chicken with citrus glaze, burrata with stone fruit, or saffron seafood risotto.
Verdict
A show-stopping indigenous white that commands attention. Profound aromatics, dimensional palate, and unforgettable persistence. This is not just impressive, this is emotional wine.
🍷 Personal Pick
Yes. This is a 2-bottle strategy candidate. One to relive the shock. One to cellar and remember exactly where you were when Lazio changed your axis. — 2 months ago
