Poggio Anima Gabriel Pecorino 750 ml

Poggio Anima is a collection of six wines representing four regions typifying the cultural heartbeat of each area. Poggio Anima, translated as 'Hill of Soul,' personifies the individual vineyards cultivated for each bottle. Many wines have vitality and a soul though few exemplify this trait, especially priced for weekday consumption. In the ancient Hebrew Book of Enoch, Gabriel, along with Michael, Raphael, Uriel and Suriel, hears the cries of humanity under the strain of the Nephilim (offspring of fallen angels with humans, thought to be giants). It was their beseeching of "the Ancient of Days” that prompted God to call Enoch to the prophetical office. After Enoch informed the archangels of humanity’s fall from grace, the Ancient of Days sent the angels to earth to complete various tasks. Gabriel was to ignite a civil war amongst the Nephilim, thus causing internal strife. Gabriel is recognized as the most important archangel in other texts in various religions. From revealing the Quran to Muhammad, being known as the 'Earth's Moon' in the occult and announcing the birth of Jesus to Mary, his importance is noted throughout historical texts. Pecorino is not only an important grape to both Abruzzo and Marche but it also reveals itself in so many ways dependent on site, temperatures, harvest times, etc. It is a grape that can vary in style from bright and green to dense and waxy. Pecorino runs from a quaffing beverage to an intense and muscular wine. Bright straw. A concentrated nose of apricot blossom, lemongrass, acacia, sea spray and yellow apple. Rounded in the mouth, the wine repeats the floral notes on the palate but adds in white peach and a bit of lemon zest, with a lingering melon note. The bright acid keeps the wine fresh and persistent while the wine remains medium-bodied throughout.
