Chiesina San Giuseppe - Soprastrada
This seven-hectare plot is located next to the Via Bolgherese vineyard. The soil is of alluvial origin with very ancient deposits and is characterised by loose clay and sand rich in fossils and pebbles. The presence of elements such as limestone and iron gives this soil a particular red colour, creating an ideal environment for the typical varietals grown in Bolgheri. Merlot was planted in an area characterised by the highest level of clay in the superficial layer, with pebbles deeper down, suppressing the innate vigour of this grape variety.
Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon were planted in the soils with the richest deposits of fossils and they adapt perfectly to poor and stony surface soils.

Il Seggio
Bolgheri Rosso D.O.C.
The Seggio river is the largest watercourse in the municipality of Castagneto Carducci. This Bolgheri Rosso is produced with typical grape varieties, carefully harvested and vinified to ensure density and concentration but also to create a very fresh and easy-drinking style of wine.
Sondraia
Bolgheri Superiore D.O.C.
This is Poggio al Tesoro’s flagship wine, produced with the best grapes from the parcels on the estate. This is a new kind of Supertuscan, successfully expressing the richness of an extraordinary territory, combining tension, complexity and great finesse.
Dedicato a Walter
Bolgheri Superiore D.O.C.
This is one of the rare 100% Cabernet Francs from Bolgheri and indeed from Italy, dedicated by Marilisa Allegrini to her brother Walter. It has become the jewel in Poggio al Tesoro’s crown. Here, this vineyard finds an ideal habitat in which to express itself in an absolutely independent and original fashion.
