Poggio al Tesoro
Poggio al Tesoro is the estate that was born in 2001 from the desire of Marilisa and Walter Allegrini to take on a completely new project. Starting from their beloved Valpolicella, where the family has solid and celebrated historical roots, they moved in search of a reality with a strong impact and arrived in the territory of Bolgheri, immediately falling in love with the great beauty of the landscape and the deep potential that still lies hidden there. Today, Marilisa's daughters, Carlotta and Carolina, are also involved in the business management, dynamically carrying on the activity with the same vision set by their uncle, who passed away prematurely.
Poggio al Tesoro comes to life with the purchase of the first plot of 11 hectares in the area that runs from the Strada delle Sondraie, in the northern part of the Bolgheri territory, to Fossa Camilla, directly on the coast. Subsequently, the 7 hectares of the Chiesina di San Giuseppe estate and another 7 hectares, part of which is already planted, are added, always along the Strada Bolgherese. The land holdings are completed with the acquisitions of other plotssold by the owners and the total area reaches 67 and a half hectares. The parcelization of the land started in 2003 allows each variety to be matched to the most suitable area: sandy and gravelly skeleton for Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc; clay with a great variety of minerals for Merlot. The ampelographic varieties are later completed by Vermentino, selected directly in Corsica, and by two other powerful French white grapes like Viognier and Petit Manseng. In the vineyard, there is an attentive approach to environmental sustainability using agricultural practices such as cover cropping and selective mowing, which provide organic fertilization and fertility to the soil, while safeguarding in every way the widest possible biodiversity. The pruning is obviously differentiated according to the varieties and the yields per hectare are kept very low, in order to concentrate the aromatic potential of the fruits, and the harvests generally take place at night.
