Even if you’re unfamiliar with Poggio al Tesoro, the Allegrini family behind it likely rings a bell. They’re one of Italy’s most respected and accomplished winemaking families. Their commitment to sustainability shines through in their gorgeous, sprawling estate, which they manage organically and utilize composting practices.

Poggio al Tesoro sits in the heart of Tuscany’s famed Bolgheri region, home to legendary Super Tuscan names like Ornellaia, Le Macchiole, Tenuta San Guido, and Grattamacco. With such prestigious neighbors, prices in this region typically soar above $60 a bottle. That’s what makes this one such a rare find.

While you might not directly taste the sea in this wine, its proximity to the Mediterranean undeniably plays a role. The wine bursts with freshness and personality, characteristics likely influenced by the coastal influence.
