Production Notes

Following destemming and gentle pressing, fermentation took place for 20/25 days in temperature controlled stainless-steel tanks at 28-30°C. The wine was then aged for 15 months in 225 litre French oak barriques from Allier (30% new, 70% second fill) during which malolactic fermentation occurred naturally.

Producer Information

One of the most exciting estates to have emerged from Italy in recent years, Poggio al Tesoro is a 70 hectare property in Bolgheri acquired in 2002 by the Allegrini family.

The first vineyard they bought, Le Sondraia, 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.
