Poggio al Tesoro is a 70 hectare property in Bolgheri acquired in 2002 by the Allegrini family. The first vineyard they bought, Le Sondraie, is next door to Ornellaia and was previously rented by them. It is 50 hectares in size and is planted with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and a small amount of Vermentino.
An intriguing Vermentino from Bolgheri. Looking to create a wine that was concentrated, elegant and ageworthy, Allegrini planted a very specific Vermentino clone from Corsica. This results in a wine that is drinking very well now, but that has great aging potential.
Sustainable viticulture and winemaking.
