In the heart of Bolgheri, where Marilisa Allegrini and her late brother Walter realised their Tuscan dream in 2001, an ancient tradition is being revived. Cassiopea takes its name from the constellation that shines brightly above the 70-hectare Poggio al Tesoro estate – a cosmic 'W' for Walter or 'M' for Marilisa, depending on your perspective in the night sky over the Costa Toscana. This elegant rosé hails from the prestigious Le Sondraie vineyard, which was once leased to Ornellaia and now forms the heart of the Allegrini vision. The 'soprastrada' site, situated east of the famous Strada Bolgherese, is regarded as the highest-quality area in Bolgheri. Here, where the Seggio stream has carried minerals from the nearby hills for centuries, complex soils of sand, clay and pebbles with a high magnesium content create ideal conditions for both grape varieties.

A delicate salmon pink with violet highlights. The bouquet reveals a seductive array of wild berries, raspberries and cherries, interwoven with floral notes of peony and subtle hints of spice. Its proximity to the sea lends this rosé that characteristic salinity and minerality which makes Bolgheri rosés so special. On the palate, it is fresh yet full-bodied, with a delicate balance between fruity sweetness and a salty tang. The Mediterranean scrub comes through subtly, whilst the cool coastal night breezes lend that elegance which has made Poggio al Tesoro one of Bolgheri's most dynamic estates. SUPERIORE.DE

"A bright pink colour with coppery highlights. On the nose, initially reductive notes; as it opens up, red fruit and light spice emerge, reminiscent of strawberry and white pepper. Fresh and straightforward on the palate, with a juicy acidity and medium length." Falstaff

"Fresh and lean, with pink nectarines and white cherries mingling with floral notes. Medium-bodied with a clean, crunchy finish. Very refreshing and delicious." James Suckling
