Poggio al Tesoro Dedicato a Walter Bolgheri Superiore DOC 2021

A Bolgheri Superiore from Poggio al Tesoro, made entirely from Cabernet Franc. The terroir, proximity to the sea and favourable light conditions contribute to the wine, which rests in barrique for about 18 months. It is named after Walter Allegrini and his love for this land. Dark ruby in colour, it offers pleasant spice alongside cherry and eucalyptus, with a balsamic trace. The palate is enveloping, with velvety tannins, taut yet light, and great persistence. It suits meat dishes such as lamb, pigeon, duck, hare, stews and braises with red wine reductions.
