Dedicato a Walter - Bolgheri Superiore DOC 2021, a pure Cabernet Franc, has secured 4th place in the ranking “The 100 Best Italian Red Wines” published by Gentleman, which aggregates the evaluations of five of Italy’s most authoritative national wine guides: Vini d’Italia by Gambero Rosso, I Vini di Veronelli by Seminario Permanente Luigi Veronelli, Guida Essenziale ai Vini d’Italia by Daniele Cernilli, Vitae by the Associazione Italiana Sommelier, and Bibenda by the Fondazione Italiana Sommelier.

Since the founding of Poggio al Tesoro, Cabernet Franc has represented a defining discovery: not merely a grape variety, but a true revelation, capable of expressing purity, elegance, depth, and character. The Mediterranean climate of Bolgheri and the mineral-rich alluvial soils of the vineyard located east of the Strada Bolgherese, toward the hills of Castagneto Carducci, have allowed this variety to find an authentic and distinctive voice. From this origin comes the identity of Dedicato a Walter, now an ambassador of a style that combines finesse, structure, and an international vocation.
