Poggio Anima Uriel Grillo 2025

A collaboration between famed Brunello di Montalcino producer

Riccardo Campinoti and his importer from Vine Street Imports, Ronnie

Sanders, whose wines attract as much attention for what's on the label as

what's in the bottle. Poggio Anima is designed to over-deliver for its

modest price point.

Uriel, the archangel of repentance. Uriel played a very important role in

ancient texts as the rescuer of Jesus' cousin John the Baptist from the Massacre of the Innocents ordered by King Herod.

The translation of Uriel is ‘God of Light.’ Uriel was the angel who checked each of the doors during the Passover in order

to ensure safety for God’s people. Grillo is a very resilient grape and one that withstands a lot of heat and wind on Sicily.

It is probably best known as the foundation for Marsala but in its ‘dry’ form has many interesting characteristics. It is the

most important white grape on Sicily and therefore the ‘principal light.’

Grillo, also known as Riddu, is a white wine grape variety which withstands high temperatures and is widely used in

Sicilian wine-making and, in particular, for Marsala. Grillo is crisp and light in texture, with moderate acidity and

notable sweetness.

100% Grillo from 20 year old vines, grown on sand and clay soils. SÉlevage Production

6 months in Stainless Steel. 4,000 cases made.

Tasting Notes

“

Golden straw color with bright yellow hues. The aromas creep from the glass with white peaches and

white plums combined with scents of wildflowers and a hint of mango. Like the 2016, there is a breadth

to the weight on the palate retaining freshness though and not showing the wear & tear of the vintage.

It is well-balanced and medium-bodied with a soft palate, fresh mineral notes and tropical fruit

characters and a very high-toned, fresh finish.
