The 2020 Poggio al Tesoro Il Seggio Bolgheri DOC is an elegant Super Tuscan blend from the prestigious Bolgheri region, combining Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Crafted to express the Mediterranean character of the estate, it delivers freshness, depth and remarkable balance. The nose is vibrant and expressive, revealing aromas of ripe red berries, blackcurrant and plum, layered with mineral notes, sweet spice and subtle oak.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with silky tannins, lively acidity and exceptional drinkability. Flavours of blackberry, cherry and cassis are complemented by hints of liquorice, crushed stone and gentle spice, leading to a long, clean and persistent finish. Aged for 15 months in French oak barriques, the wine is approachable now while offering excellent cellaring potential over the next 8–12 years.
Ben's Recommendation:| At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who enjoy refined Bolgheri reds with vibrant fruit, polished tannins and classic Tuscan elegance. Pair it with grilled Chianina beef, osso buco, wild boar ragù, pappardelle with hare or aged Pecorino. Decant for 30–45 minutes before serving and enjoy now or cellar confidently for the next decade.
