Poggio al Tesoro is located in the admired area of Bolgheri, an appellation situated in the upper part of Tuscany’s Maremma, south of Pisa and just two miles from the Tyrrhenian Sea. Light sunshine color with aromas of stone and tropical fruits accompanied by floral tones and light spice notes. On the palate tangy peach, melon and lemon flavors, crisp, surrounded by pepper and spice. Medium body this wine finished with a gentle touch of minerality. Tasting Sample. — 9 years ago

A discovery. Very Tuscan, but not colli senesi, nor Chianti. It comes from Pisa. An original blend. Was good with light cheese and artisanal ham — 9 years ago
A much improved wine on day 2. This Pinot seems to have staying power, nice structure with a delicate blessing of red fruit. Would like to revisit with food, as opposed to a hotel room tipple in OKC — 10 years ago
Hello once again Rocky Knoll Vineyard!
New release 2012 at the cellar door on July 1st.
About 500 cases of triumphant Central Pinot. Lacks the acidity of previous years, but makes up for it in plenty of whole bunching tannic punch!
35% new French oak and 18 months in oak all around makes for one bucking bronco of a 2012 Pinot!
Never mind the snow on the Pisa range in March the said, let's make something to cellar a decade or more why not!
Rich, dark and spicy, just throw it in the cellar!
Cheers! — 10 years ago

I visited this boutique vineyard in Siena. The winemaker believes that playing classical music is beneficial to his vines. I also learned that the University of Pisa and Florence are conducting a scientific research on the effect of sound waves on vines. Music or not... decanted for 2 hours, this wine is magnificent! Leather, vanilla, dill, and cherry notes. Happy New Year friends. — 9 years ago

Super Tuscan from the hills of Livorno, which Clau swore never to go again. SS1 between Livorno and Pisa is the prostitute highway. Alas, the wine is super — 10 years ago

This is a clone of Sangiovese between pisa and sienna Prunolo gentile they started to introduce international grapes merlot Cabernet Sauvignon has a distinct terroi that is what these wines are about Tuscany fresh herbs mushroom gentile prun reminescen of Nebbiolo very fine and smooth refined very smooth and silky with layers of nuance earth spied and a long gentle vintage. Finish 35+. They used to treat the wines of Tuscany the same as the piedmont wines so new oak which does not work well with Sangiovese so they have learned and changed their style so no new oak in these wines today — 12 years ago
This is it: my favorite wine of the year (so far). Wonderfully oaky but balanced. Our server's suggestion. Now, if I could only find an importer. Summer 2013, Pisa. — 12 years ago
