Poggio al Tesoro Bolgheri Superiore Sondraia 2019
Sondraia is clear evidence of how the Bordeaux blend meets harmoniously with the terroir of Bolgheri, constituting an expression of great originality and giving rise to wines of strong identification, precisely the well-known 'Bolgheri style'.

Colour

Deep ruby red.

Bouquet

On the nose, subtle notes of exotic spices and ripe red fruit.

Flavour

On the palate, it is elegant, warm and full-bodied, with silky tannins persisting and ripe in the finish.

Pairing

Naturally indicated for grilled meats, among which the Chianina variety stands out. It goes well with spit-roasted preparations, roast veal, ribs, 'ossobuco', lamb or pork shanks. It is exalted by the combination of smoked ricotta, Parmigiano Reggiano and medium-aged Pecorino cheese.
