Poggio al Tesoro's 2020 Bolgheri Rosso Il Seggio makes a great jump forward in quality and intensity with this vintage. Named after the little river Seggio that runs through the estate's vineyards, this is a blend of 50% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Petit Verdot. The wine reveals soft, ripe cherry fruit with lots of plush texturing at the back. The tannins are tame and the wine spreads evenly over the palate. Also impressive is the wine's 160,000-bottle production number. ... More details

The 2020 Bolgheri Il Seggio is a gorgeous, complex wine. Sweet herbs, tobacco, mocha and cedar open on the effusive, inviting bouquet. Pliant and racy but not at all heavy, Il Seggio is another inviting wine from Poggio al Tesoro. All the elements are so nicely balanced. This is so refined.

A firm and creamy red with herb, currant and light spice character. Medium-bodied with nice crushed stone and berry flavors. Crunchy fruit and tannins. Very drinkable now but even better in a year or so.

This leans to the racy side, displaying lacy blackberry and black cherry fruit, with licorice and mineral accents. Though fluid midpalate, this has some tannins that need to be resolved. Firm finish. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2025 through 2039. 11,666 cases made, 882 cases imported.
Winery
The seat is the largest waterway in the municipality of Castagneto Carducci. This Bolgheri Rosso is produced with typical grape varieties, carefully harvested and vinified to guarantee thickness and concentration, but also a great freshness and drinkability.

Region: Tuscany

All over the stunning region of Tuscany in central Italy, you'll see rolling hills covered in green, healthy grapevines. This region is currently Italy's third largest producer of wines, but interestingly wineries here are generally happy with lower yields holding higher quality grapes, believing that they have a responsibility to uphold the excellent reputation of Tuscany, rather than let it slip into 'quantity over quality' wine-making as it did in the mid twentieth century. The region has a difficult soil type to work with, but the excellent climate and generations of expertise more than make up for this problem. Most commonly, Tuscan vintners grow Sangiovese and Vernaccia varietal grapes, although more and more varietals are being planted nowadays in order to produce other high quality wine styles.

Country: Italy

Italy is recognised as being one of the finest wine producing countries in the world, and it isn't difficult to see why. With a vast amount of land across the country used primarily for vineyard cultivation and wine production, each region of Italy manages to produce a wide range of excellent quality wines, each representative of the region it is produced in. Any lover of Italian wines will be able to tell you of the variety the country produces, from the deliciously astringent and alpine-fresh wines of the northern borders, to the deliciously jammy and fruit-forward wines of the south and the Italian islands. Regions such as Barolo are frequently compared with Bordeaux and Burgundy in France, as their oak aged red wines have all the complexity and earthy, spicy excellence of some of the finest wines in the world, and the sparkling wines of Asti and elsewhere in Italy can easily challenge and often exceed the high standards put forward by Champagne. Thanks to excellent terrain and climatic conditions, Italy has long since proven itself a major player in the world of wines, and long may this dedication to quality and excellence continue.
