At Poggio al Tesoro
This was a tasting-only event. During the whole tour, typically the wineries also served olive oil with bread and sometimes also antipasti during the wine tasting. The antipasti offered at Poggi al Tesoro during the wine tasting was well above the normal. The friendly lady that poured the wines had the tatoo on her arm "We only part to meet again". I love to come back to this place.
Poggio al Tesoro
Bolgheri DOC · Castagneto Carducci
Poggio al Tesoro, or "hill of the treasure", is the Bolgheri estate of the Allegrini family of
Valpolicella, one of Italy's great wine dynasties, who early on recognized the extraordinary
potential of this coastal Tuscan terroir. The estate was established in 2000 and encompasses
vineyards on the gentle slopes of Castagneto Carducci within the Bolgheri DOC zone, where
the combination of maritime influence, well-drained sandy-clay soils, and a warm but wind-
cooled microclimate creates ideal conditions for the Bordeaux varieties that have made this
region world-famous.
The winemaking at Poggio al Tesoro is guided by a philosophy of
expressing the freshness and precision of Bolgheri's coastal character rather than sheer power.
The estate's flagship Dedicato a Walter, a Cabernet Franc-led blend named in tribute to the
Allegrini patriarch, is one of the most elegant expressions of the variety in all of Tuscany.
Sondraia, a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant Bolgheri Superiore, delivers concentration and
structure, with a distinctly Mediterranean personality, while the fresh, aromatic Solosole
Vermentino rounds out a portfolio of impressive range and consistency.
