Poggio Anima Belial Sangiovese 2019

Tuscany, ItalyPoggio Anima is a joint project between Toscana's Le Ragnaie, and one of their American importers to highlight different regions and indigenous grapes around Italy. Each cuvée in the colourful series is named for fantastic mythical beasts. This single vineyard comes from 24-45 year old vines rooted in rocky red clays near Siena. This was native fermented whole berry in stainless, with a small portion moved to neutral Slavonian Botti for 8 months of aging. Fragrant dark plum, blueberry, wild blackberry fill the juicy palate, seasoned with finely rasped spices, along a mineral-flecked palate. Tannins are softly sticky, as is the palate, making this a friendly, welcoming choice for tonight, especially with ribs or grilled veg kabobs.Tasted: 21 April 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
