Poggio al Tesoro:

The vineyards of Poggio al Tesoro are located in four different areas: Via Bolgherese, Chiesina di San Giuseppe, Le Sondraie and Valle di Cerbaia, each of which is characterised by significant pedoclimatic differences. The soil types, location and exposure, combined with the choice of grape varieties cultivated, result in grapes with different characteristics and strong personalities.

Planting of the vineyards began in 2003 and new plots are still being added every year. Some of the most important vineyards in the Bolgheri region are located along the Strada Bolgherese, surrounded by majestic oaks and centuries-old olive trees. This part of the appellation is known locally as Soprastrada and is considered the area from which the best wines come, characterised by the greatest complexity and elegance in terms of quality.
