Poggio Anima Lilith

Where: Salento, Italy
Grapes: 100% Primitivo
Body: Medium/full
Category: Red Wine

Opaque ruby. Medium to full-bodied with dark fruit flavors, like blackberry and cassis, and there is a subtle herbal, anise quality and a smoky finish. 

According to Hebrew texts, Lilith was the first wife of Adam. She was banished from the Garden of Eden when she refused to make herself subservient to Adam’s sexual requests. When she was cast out of the Garden, she was made into a demon, and Adam was given a second wife, Eve, who was fashioned from his rib to ensure her obedience to her man. Where Adam was created from dust, Lilith was created from filth and sediment. Primitivo refuses to be submissive to the oenology that it is the same grape as its close relative Zinfandel. Many subscribe to this idea, though they are both mutations of Crljenak, a Croatian varietal.
