2022 Poggio Anima Sangiovese "Belial" 750ml

2022 Poggio Anima Sangiovese "Belial" - Tuscany, Italy 

Less sinister than its diabolical namesake, this renegade Sangiovese is grown just southeast of Siena in Tuscany's picturesque Chiana Valley. There's no destemming, no added yeast, no new oak, no messing around — just the untamed, cherry-saturated, spice-laden, endearingly terrestrial persistence of unmanipulated Sangiovese. Front-loaded with character while ripe tannins dutifully bide their time in the background, prepare yourself for palate detonation when combined with September's extroverted casarecce dish.
