jamessuckling.com, August 2012

This is a wonderful wine with orange peel, chocolate, currant and blackberries. Full and round with velvety tannins and a long caressing finish. Very fine. Best ever. Try after 2015.

Wine Enthusiast, April 2013

A Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc blend, this shows immense density and richness, and it exudes bright tones of cherry, blackberry, chocolate, tar, clove and licorice. The bouquet is elegant and complex, but...

Poggio al Tesoro Sondraia is a textbook Bordeaux blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Merlot, expertly crafted from Bolgheri terroir. Intense ruby red, the wine has subtle hints of exotic spices and ripe red fruit on the nose. On the palate it is plush, warm and full, with persistent silky and ripe tannins in the finish.

The grapes are hand-harvested and sorted then de-stemmed and gently pressed. Primary fermentation is in stainless steel tanks, the malolactic fermentation in barrel. The wine ages 18 months in French oak barrels, half of which are new.
