Poggio Anima Uriel, Grillo, 2020

Sicily, Italy 2020 (750 ml) 
 
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 in Sicily. It is probably best known
as the foundation for Marsala but in its ‘dry’ form, its aromas creep
from the glass with white peaches and white plums combined with scents
of wildflowers and a hint of mango. 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.
