Poggio al Tesoro is located in Bolgheri, the birthplace of Super Tuscan wine, founded in 2002 by one of Italy’s great wine families, the Allegrini. It was Marilisa Allegrini’s pet project and has been a major success. They have received numerous rewards, including more than fifty 90+ scores from the world’s top wine critics.  Poggio al Tesoro is composed of four vineyards, totaling 70 hectares.  They make international-style “Super Tuscan” wines in Bolgheri.  Their wines are marked by depth, purity, and finesse.  Valentina toured us around the winery and tastings, doing a superb job.  We really enjoyed the morning spent there.  Their “W” wine, dedicated to Walter Allegrini, was exceptional.

These are the wines we tasted.
