When I first opened a bottle, March 2015, it wasn't quite ready yet. It still has quite some life left into it, but it drinks very well now. Very dark color, loads of dark, ripe fruits in the nose. Lovely fruit flavors, silky tannins, powerful but elegant and with finesse. Will decant next time and needs a big glass to breathe.

Poggio alo Tesoro is a common initaitive of Allegrini from Veneto and the leading US importer of fine Italian wine Leonardo LoCascio in Bolgheri with vineyards next to Sassicaia, Ornellaia and Ca'Marcanda. This bottling of 100% Cabernet Franc is dedicated to the late Walter Allegrini, eldest of the Allegrini brothers. This is a very limited production wine with only 250 cases available. Dark crimson in colour and a restrained nose with primal red and black berry aromas followed by herbal notes like green peppers under which sweet spices and vanilla nuances are displayed. Dense and powerful structure backed by round and ripe tannins, a fruity mid palate and a medium length of finish.
