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

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.

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.
