Via Bolgherese - Soprastrada
The vineyard located on the east side (soprastrada) of via Bolgherese is around seven hectares, three of which were planted in 1994, using the spurred cordon system, with a density of 10,000 vines per hectare. The plots closest to the forest in the remaining three hectares were planted in 2016, with a planting density of 8,928 vines per hectare. The soil, of alluvial origin, has a loose first layer with very cohesive clays rich in minerals deeper down which, combined with a fair percentage of fossils, making it even more complex. Drainage is excellent, with no stagnant water on the surface.

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.
