About This Wine

In a desire to look beyond the confines of its own territory, Valpolicella – Veneto region, Allegrini set itself a challenge in one of Italy’s most prestigious wine-producing areas: Tuscany. In 2001, Marilisa, with her late brother, Walter, purchased land in Bolgheri on which they founded the new winery, Poggio al Tesoro.

The viticulture at Poggio al Tesoro aims to make the vine the focus of all agricultural practices, thereby focusing on the health of the vines and their ability to build natural immunity to disease, rather than focusing exclusively on ways to “manage” disease.


Reviews;

While Dedicato a Walter, a 100% Cabernet Franc, is the top wine of the estate, and Seggio is becoming the bestseller of the winery, Sondraia has increased in quality (and price). In 2017 it has an earthy minerality with spice complexity of clove, bark and walnut husk, supporting vibrant, ripe fruit. The mid-palate is very extracted yet velvety, leading to a warming finish. 95 Points, Decanter

When the famed Allegrini family of Veneto set their sights on the highly regarded terroir of Bolgheri in 2001, Poggio al Tesoro was born.

Their Bolgheri estate contains unique qualities that form an exceptional terroir. The winters are mild and summers last through until October. Constant breezes cool the air during the hotter months and promote the health of the grapes, while the long, sunny days influence the structure of the wines. The light here contributes to the uniqueness of this terroir: it is strong and sharp throughout the entire year. In fact, the reflection of the sun on the surface of the sea is Bolgheri's secret to phenolic ripening of the grapes.

Produced from some 64 hectares (160 acres) of carefully and meticulously tended vineyards, the wines from this estate combine strength and elegance. They are intense, deeply textured and brimming with aromas and flavours with predominant, satisfying fruitiness and silky tannins.
