Blind tasted by Aldo Fiordelli(at Consorzio di Tutela Bolgheri e Bolgheri Sassicaia, 29 Jun 2021) Part of Bolgheri 2018 vintage report: Graceful wines suitable for the long haul.
Sondraie, from which the wine gets its name, is a great plateau from Aurelia to Bellaria in the northern side of appellation, one of the best places for Cabernet in Bolgheri. Winemaker Luca d'Attoma is considered one of the best interpreters of Cabernet Franc in Italy and this is always one of the best buys. The 2018 is tinged with violet, leafy on the nose with dark chocolate and a signature aroma of coffee powder. On the palate clove and cassis are melted and in balance. Smooth and ripe, and a touch chalky thanks to the oak tannins on the finish. Amazingly fresh. It spends 18 months in French oak, of which 2/3 new.

The Bordeaux and Margaret River Caberenet Sauvignon lover will adore the Poggio al Tesoro Sondraia Bolgheri. This is a perfect example of an Itlalian cabernet blend.
