Poggio al Tesoro W Dedicato A Walter 2007 IGT


Poggio al Tesoro W Dedicato A Walter 2007 IGT

This wine is dedicated to the late brother of Marilisa Allegrini co-owner of the 110-acre estate and is 100% Cabernet Franc aged in French Oak for 18 months, this has alot to do with its character.

The core is medium deep and ruby coloured, aromas of ripe red fruits, spice and balsamic are quite closed initially, but there are hints of carbonic maceration on the nose.

Both red and black fruits are present on the palate though black fruits dominate balanced by the smokey spice , the high acidity maintains the fruits freshness while the silk ripe tannins together with the high alcohol and weighty palate balance and enrobes the wine. A wine with pedigree!
