Marilisa Allegrini is the force behind one of the most dynamic and forward-thinking wineries along the Tuscan Coast. Poggio al Tesoro embraces alternative winemaking techniques such as amphorae and puts special effort into mapping in order to match the best grapes to terrain. Bolgheri is largely made of winemakers who come from other regions (Marilisa Allegrini is from Valpolicella), and these many "outsiders" have brought an exciting wave of innovation to these shores. The 2017 Bolgheri Superiore Sondraia is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc with a relatively contained 15% alcohol content. The wine opens to an inky dark appearance with dried blackberry and plum and plenty of spice and smoke to flesh it out. Like other Bolgheri wines from this vintage, the tannins (both the fruit and the oak tannins, but mostly the fruit) are very powerful and tight. They add a point of stemmy bitterness to the close that makes me enjoy this vintage less than some of the others I have tasted. Some 45,000 bottles were made.

Really impressive for this hot vintage with blackcurrants, chocolate, and hints of walnut. Medium to full body. Polished and beautiful. Extremely well-crafted. Tight at the end. Needs three or four years to still open but getting there. Drink or hold.

A hint of bell pepper, wild rosemary and oak spice accent the core of black currant and olive flavors in this beefy red. Iron and tobacco notes chime in as this builds to a long, gripping finish. All of the components are there, this just needs a little aging, or decanting, to come together. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2022 through 2033. 2,500 cases made, 300 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Bolgheri Select to Add
