Poggio al Tesoro is the Bolgheri estate of the Allegrini family, known above all for Amarone in the Veneto. The estate was founded in 2001 in the comune of Castagneto Carducci, in the province of Livorno, and it brings a distinct approach to a zone dominated by Bordeaux blends.
The wines
Sondraia is the flagship Bolgheri Superiore, a Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blend. Il Seggio is the more immediate red, and Solosole is a Vermentino that has become one of the reference whites of the coast. The range is a good illustration of how Bolgheri can be both red and white, both structured and fresh.
Visiting
The estate receives visitors by appointment, with tastings arranged directly by the winery. We do not publish hours, prices or availability; Roc Villa Bay is not affiliated with Poggio al Tesoro. If you are interested in white wine as well as red, say so when you book: Vermentino is often the surprise of a Bolgheri visit.
Staying by the sea
Roc Villa Bay is in Castiglioncello, on the Etruscan Riviera, with four bedrooms, three private units, a large garden and two private accesses to the sea. It is a private house rather than a resort, and it suits guests who want the sea to be the centre of the stay.
