Poggio Al Tesoro Il Seggio Bolgheri DOC 2022
$112.00
Volume: 750ml
The Seggio river is the largest watercourse in the municipality of Castagneto Carducci. Its source is up in the metalliferous hills of Sassetta, an area that was already well known in the Etruscan period, which is extremely rich in underground deposits of ferrous minerals. It cuts across the entire area of Bolgheri and its alluvial debris enriches the characteristic clay soils with precious large pebbles, thus ensuring excellent drainage of the soil.
This Bolgheri Rosso is produced with typical grape varieties, carefully harvested and vinified to ensure density and concentration but also to create a very fresh and easy-drinking style of wine.
Intense ruby red in colour. The nose exhibits lovely fresh, crunchy fruit, enriched with mineral and spicy notes. The palate is medium bodied with hints of red berries. The elegant, silky tannins are wholly enveloping and velvety-soft. The finish is pristine, clean, and vivacious.
Winemaking
Each varietal and each parcel is harvested at different times and vinified separately with traditional methods in steel vats, with careful management of maceration. Ageing then proceeds for 15 months in French oak barriques (30% new, 70% second-use), and for at least 6 months in the bottle.
