Description

Poggio al Tesoro on Marilisa Allegrini veinimaja Bolgheris, valdus hõlmab kokku 70 hektarit. Pärast seda kui “supertoskaanlased” Bolgheri piirkonna ülemaailmselt kuulsaks tegid sai Bolgheri 2001. aastal DOC staatuse. Samal aastal saabus ka Allegrini Toskaanasse. Poggio al Tesoro veiniaiad asuvad vähem kui 5km kaugusel merest ning tänu sellele on väga kuumad suved ja külmad talved tunduvalt mahedamad.

Sondraia on esmaklassiline bordeaux stiilis tippvein, kus kasutatakse 65% Cabernet Sauvignoni, 25% Merlot ja 10% Cabernet Franci. Pinnases domineerib kruus ja savi. Viinamarjad koristatakse eranditult käsitsi 15kg suurustesse kastidesse ning sorteeritakse manuaalselt veinimõisa saabudes. Käärimine toimub terasmahutites ning naturaalne malolaktiline käärimine toimub tammemahutities novembris. Vein laagerdub 22 kuud 225 liitri suurustes Prantsuse tammevaatides, millest 70% on uued ja 30% kord varem kasutatud. Lõpuks puhkab vein veel 9 kuud pudelis.

Aroomis on tunda eksootilisi vürtse ja küpseid puuvilju. Maitse on soe, täidlane, siidiste ja küpsete tanniinidega. Serveerida 16-18 kraadi juures grillitud lihaga, T-bone lihaga, kebabiga, küpsetatud vasikalihaga, ossobucoga, lambaga ning erinevate juustudega (ricotta, parmigiano, küpsed kitsejuustud).

“This production of 45,000 bottles is expected to hit the market at the beginning of 2023. The Poggio al Tesoro 2019 Bolgheri Superiore Sondraia (a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc) makes excellent use of oak aging, resulting in soft tannins, plush richness and attractive concentration. The wine is very well managed overall with plenty of black fruit balanced by spice and tobacco. Its important structure suggests a long aging future.” Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate 95 points

“Aromas of fresh herbs such as parsley and nettles, blackcurrants. Pure and focused. Full-bodied with lovely polished tannins that are tailored and focused. Delicious finish.” James Suckling 94 points

“Despite increasing a lot in price due to demand, Sondraia is still one of the best buys in Bolgheri. This 2019 is extremely youthful, with estery notes on the nose enhanced by restrained but layered and concentrated bramble fruits, and menthol and chocolate in depth. The attack is fleshy then more tight than supple. Full bodied, with angular tannins and firm acidity, it’s not ready to drink now but is full of potential.” Decanter 94 points

“A meaty, savory nose draws freshness from herbal and stony undertones, while a kick of salt and pepper provides pop. The palate turns sweeter, with black cherries and chocolate but maintains the salt and pepper backbone. The tannins are tautly wound around powerful acidity.” Wine Enthusiast 94 points

“Reveals powerful and firmly wrought tannins, setting the stage for blackberry, black currant, coffee, iron and a hint of dark chocolate. Suave and balanced, with a dusty, bitter cocoa finish. Best from 2024 through 2037.” Wine Spectator 93 points
