Poggio Anima Toscana Sangiovese Belial 2022 from Tuscany is a characterful, organically grown Sangiovese that marries classic Italian savouriness with a juicy, modern, easy‑drinking edge. This Poggio Anima Belial Sangiovese 2022 shows dark ruby colour and aromas of red cherries, dark berries, raspberry, plum and a little leather, lifted by iris, rosemary, lavender and a hint of mint and pipe tobacco.

The palate is medium‑bodied and fleshy yet bright, with juicy cherry and dark berry fruit framed by white pepper, clove spice and those signature fine, “Italian” tannins, all carried by refreshing acidity into a smooth, savoury finish. It’s crafted in a fresher, minimal‑oak style that focuses on purity of fruit and weekday‑friendly drinkability while still feeling distinctly Tuscan.

Food‑wise, Poggio Anima Toscana Sangiovese Belial 2022 is a dead‑set winner with hearty Italian dishes – think tomato‑based pasta, Bolognese, wood‑fired pizza with cured meats, Tuscan sausages, grilled lamb chops or hard pecorino. Drink it over the next few years, ideally with a light chill alongside a big bowl of pasta on a Tuesday night.
