The Poggio Al Tesoro 'Sondraia' Bianco 2020 is a sophisticated white wine from Bolgheri, Tuscany, produced by the esteemed Poggio Al Tesoro estate. Known for their high-quality red wines, the winery brings that same dedication and precision to this elegant white, crafted from a blend of Vermentino and Sauvignon Blanc.

Appearance: Pale straw yellow with light greenish reflections, emphasizing its youthful vibrancy.

Aroma: The nose is bright and aromatic, offering a combination of ripe citrus fruits like lemon and grapefruit, alongside tropical notes of pineapple and mango. Delicate floral hints of white flowers and jasmine are intertwined with subtle herbal notes and a touch of minerality, adding depth and complexity.

Taste: On the palate, this wine is medium-bodied with crisp, refreshing acidity. Flavours of citrus, green apple, and white peach are complemented by the tropical fruit undertones, creating a harmonious balance between richness and freshness. The wine’s minerality adds a precise, clean structure, while the subtle influence of oak aging lends a hint of creaminess and texture without overpowering the fruit.

Finish: The finish is long and refreshing, with lingering notes of citrus, peach, and a slight saline minerality, leaving an elegant and balanced aftertaste.

Food pairing: This Bianco pairs beautifully with seafood dishes such as grilled prawns, oysters, or seared scallops. It also complements light pastas, vegetable risottos, or soft cheeses like ricotta and burrata. Its freshness and complexity make it versatile for both casual meals and fine dining experiences.
