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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePoggio al Tesoro owes a great deal to the far sightedness of the late Walter Allegrini, the wine-maker from Valpolicella who loved Bolgheri and was Allegrini’s enthusiastic forerunner in Tuscany. Walter had always been personally involved in the viticultural aspects of the family business, and he intuitively grasped the importance of a territory whose special characteristics could be further experimented with and enhanced. When the time came to purchase the parcels of land that would constitute the current Estate, he chose plots near the sea as well as others near the hills, aiming with considerable far sightedness at a diversification in terroir's as well as grape varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin just a few years, Poggio al Tesoro has become one of the most dynamic wineries in Bolgheri, with wines that are distinguished by their excellence and originality and each with a distinct personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ePOGGIO AL TESORO\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.poggioaltesoro.it\/en\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The official website of Poggio al Tesoro\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/desktop_icon_cd1f9a91-a06b-4665-880d-cc47c0dde6d7_480x480.jpg?v=1588261941\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/PoggioAlTesoro\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Like Poggio al Tesoro on Facebook\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/facebook_icon_d3f13554-5a1f-49e3-a487-0da023dfd02d_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/poggioaltesoro\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Follow Poggio al Tesoro on Instagram\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/instagram_icon_07bcf872-b0f0-428b-b788-b56bac71ff21_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AllegriniGroup\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Follow Allegrini on Twitter\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/twitter_icon_34f9bd96-ace0-4f23-b0ee-0e0d2f8cc379_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"pogio-al-tesoro-solosole-vermentino","title":"Pogio al Tesoro Solosole Vermentino 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe name Solosole, meaning 'just sunshine', derives from the fact that the wine is essentially a direct result of the work undertaken in the vineyards and the ripening sun. Looking to create a wine that was concentrated, elegant and age-worthy, Allegrini planted a very specific Vermentino clone from Corsica. The result is an extremely drinkable white wine with great ageing potential. Bright straw yellow in colour, this Vermentino opens with aromas reminiscent of white flowers and yellow plums.

Named after the local Seggio river that flows through the vineyards, the wine is a masterfully balanced blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot grown in mineral-rich, gravelly soils. Il Seggio undergoes careful ageing in French oak barriques, seamlessly integrating the firm tannins while adding layers of refined complexity. It pours a deep ruby red, releasing generous aromas of ripe plums, wild berries, and a touch of sweet tobacco spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied, smooth, and beautifully layered, offering a long, persistent finish with a brilliant touch of coastal freshness. This is a spectacular bottle to centre your weekend dining around. It is an ideal partner for a hearty Sunday roast beef, rich slow-cooked stews, or mature British cheeses, bringing a touch of authentic Tuscan sophistication straight to the table.
