A very focused red with blackcurrants, hints of dark tobacco and bark. Orange peel. Medium to full body. Juicy and layered with a freshness and finesse. Lovely length. Drink

Bright and saturated, with black currant, black cherry, cedar and tobacco flavors, this red also leans toward the elegant side. A firmly built version, showing fine equilibrium and refined tannins on the extended finish. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2026 through 2038. 12,583 cases made, 420 cases imported.

A saturated red/purple color, the 2021 Il Seggio is 50% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot 10%. Named after the Seggio River, it’s lush and inviting with aromas of fresh black plums, wet asphalt, wildflowers, and sweet Mediterranean herbs. Full-bodied on the palate, with ripe tannins, its graphite notes come to the fore, with a persistent mineral-toned texture and notes of black tea leaf on the finish. Though its aromas are quite appealing and initially inviting, a more serious wine emerges as it unfolds in the glass and is deserving of cellaring. Drink 2025-2040.

The entry-level Poggio al Tesoro 2021 Bolgheri Rosso Il Seggio opens to a dark, inky appearance and aromas that recall slate, pencil shaving, curry leaf, sweet blackberry and purple fruit. The blend is 50% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Petit Verdot. The wine is broad and rich with soft intensity. You’ll want to drink it now with veal steaks. An ample 175,000 bottles were made.

The 2021 Bolgheri II Seggio is vibrant, deep and super-expressive. Lavender, mocha, spice, blueberry and crushed rocks are beautifully delineated in this mid-weight, pliant offering. The blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot works so well. The 2021 opens beautifully with air.

The nose opens with savory aromas of tar, top soil and pepper, then evolves into layers of ripe, sweet blackberries and dark chocolate. Currants accentuate the blackberry note on the palate, while more chocolate and earth provide balance before a unifying, mocha finish.
