Poggio al Tesoro W Dedicato a Walter 2016
Bolgheri's terroir, with its proximity to the sea and the particularly favourable exposure to the sun, allows Cabernet Franc to thrive. In this microclimate, Cabernet Franc vinified as a single varietal enhances its spicy nuances and gains elegance and depth. The wine is named after Walter Allegrini and symbolizes the love he felt for this land.

Colour

Ruby mantle of intense color.

Bouquet

It invests the nose with elegant scents of cassis and damask rose, blackberries in jam and eucalyptus, sniffing tobacco, jujubes, sea bush and precious vegetal notes.

Flavour

The palate astonishes for its ability to sustain this imposing structure with a light tautness, making it both powerful and agile.

Pairing

Particularly suited for juicy, well-seasoned meat such as quail, lamb, pigeon, duck, hare and braised meats with red wine sauces. Perfect to accompany premium, full-flavoured cheeses.
