2014 | Tenuta Poggio al Tesoro | Toscana Mediterra (Magnum)

As its name suggests, this red wine is characterised by aromas of the Mediterranean scrub and the enticing scent of sea salt. Mediterra is a wine with great personality that expresses the intensity of the whole, intact fruit, kissed by sun and sea.

Producer Information

Tenuta Poggio al Tesoro is an Italian wine estate situated in the Bolgheri district of the Tuscan coast. The 70-hectare (173-acre) estate is owned by the well-known Allegrini family winemaking dynasty and produces a portfolio of several Toscana IGT and Bolgheri wines, including a single Bolgheri Superiore wine: Sondraia. The estate consists of four vineyard sites in Bolgheri: Via Bolgherese, Le Grottine, Valle di Cerbaia and Le Sondraie. These vineyards are predominantly planted to Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, which thrive in the largely sandy, stony soils. The more clay- and mineral-rich soils are particularly suited to the cultivation of Merlot. This is supplemented with additional plantings of Petit Verdot, Syrah, Vermentino and Viognier. The Sondraia Bolgheri superiore wine is a Cabernet Sauvignon-predominant Bordeaux blend, with smaller quantities of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. These grapes are hand-harvested from the Via Bolgherese and Le Sondraie vineyards and the wine aged for 18 months in 50 percent new French oak barriques. Tenuta Poggio al Tesoro also makes several single-vineyard offerings, including Solosole, a varietal Bolgheri Bianco Vermentino wine; Cassiopea, a Rosato di Bolgheri blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc; and Mediterra, a Toscana IGT red wine blend. The most notable of these single-vineyard wines is, however, the varietal Cabernet Franc named "Dedicato a Walter". This wine is named after Walter Allegrini, a member of the Allegrini family who own the Tenuta Poggio al Tesoro estate.
