Why You'll Love It
A beautifully judged Super Tuscan that manages real concentration without heaviness. Cassis, dark plum and savoury herbs sit over polished tannins, with generous French oak providing structure for long ageing. A serious choice for beef, lamb or a good few years in the cellar.
About The Producer
Poggio al Tesoro was established in 2002 by Marilisa Allegrini and her late brother Walter, who came to Bolgheri from Valpolicella in 2001 in search of a new viticultural adventure. After extensive exploration in other regions, they had been drawn to the diversity of soils and the quality potential of Bolgheri’s coastal sites. Their first purchases included vineyards along the Strada delle Sondraie and sites on the Strada Bolgherese, where plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot were already established. Further acquisitions from neighbouring growers soon formed what is now Poggio al Tesoro. Today, the estates philosophy is routed in sustainability.
Winemaking Information
The 2020 Sondraia Bolgheri Superiore blends 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc from the Via Bolgherese and Le Sondraie vineyards. The fruit is destemmed and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel for 12–15 days at around 28–30°C. Malolactic fermentation takes place in barrel, followed by 22 months in French oak barriques, 70% new and 30% second use, plus bottle ageing before release. The estate lists 15% ABV and 0.7 g/L residual sugar.
