If for nothing else, at least stop in for a free swig of this sneakily great Montepulciano.

Poggio Anima's Samael Montepulciano d'Abruzzo is a wine that aims to be both approachable and expressive of its terroir. The Montepulciano grape is known for its deep color, rich fruit flavors, and firm tannins, and this wine delivers on those characteristics. The winemaking process emphasizes the fruit and avoids excessive oak influence, resulting in a wine that is both flavorful and easy to drink. The wine is also noted for its balance, with good acidity and tannins that provide structure.
The name "Samael" is derived from Jewish texts and is associated with both good and evil, reflecting the duality of the Montepulciano grape and the potential for both alluring and simple wines. Poggio Anima's project aims to highlight the unique qualities of different Italian wine regions and their indigenous grapes.
