Cabernet Sauvignon 65%, Merlot 25% and Cabernet Franc 10%
Tenuta Poggio al Tesoro is an Italian wine estate situated in the Bolgheri district of the Tuscan coast. The 70-hectare estate is owned by the well known Allegrini family winemaking dynasty and produces a portfolio of several Toscana IGT and Bolgheri wines, including a single Bolgheri Superiore.
This wine sees a combination of steel and wood. The vintage after this ferments and ages in wood only. The 2018 Bolgheri Superiore Sondraia is already quite toasty with vanilla and dark spice behind black cherry and plum. There is a lot of revved up energy in this vintage, and its tannic structure is important. So is the alcohol content that clocks in at 15%. Fruit comes from a 15-hectare site located just above sea level at about 25 meters in elevation. The soils are deep and well-draining with clay and loose sand.
