2023 Cassiopea Toscana Rosato, Poggio al Tesoro
£23.00
Certified sustainable (3E Equalitas Sustainable Winery).
“Pale golden pink and, tasted cold, not much on the nose. But it’s delicious. Bursting at the seams with juicy tangerine, watermelon, salty grapefruit, crisp nectarine, and buzzing with energy and fresh, fresh fruit. Lovely long cold-chalk spine. Great structure. Really, really good. Super-appetising.”

Product Description
Poggio al Tesoro is a 70-hectare Bolgheri estate acquired in 2002 by the Allegrini family. The first vineyard they bought, ‘Le Sondraie’, is next door to Ornellaia and was previously rented by them. It comprises 50 hectares planted with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and a small amount of Vermentino. All of the Poggio al Tesoro vineyards are located in “soprastrada”, the area east of the Bolgherese road considered the best vineyard site in Bolgheri. The soils here are complex and varied thanks to the mineral composition created by the Seggio stream from the nearby hillsides. A careful soil mapping has also allowed Allegrini to match each plot to the grape variety best suited to its unique growing conditions. This attention to detail continues today with a sustainable and organic approach in the vineyard and winery, where different vessels and techniques are utilised to optimise the potential of each variety and plot. Every year the quality of these exceptional wines continues to improve, reflecting the unique characteristics of the Bolgheri territory.
The Cabernet Franc and Merlot-based ‘Cassiopea’ Rosato is a deliciously fruity rosé, softly pressed and fermented in stainless steel.
