Poggio al Tesoro, the Bolgheri winery of the Marilisa Allegrini Group, is launching a new strategic collaboration with Prestige Beverage Group, part of Johnson Brothers, which will now handle the import and distribution of its wines in the United States. Announced on June 11, 2026, the partnership aims to strengthen the brand’s presence in one of the most important markets for premium wines, leveraging the extensive distribution network of the Minnesota‑based importer. The wines of Poggio al Tesoro will now join the Prestige Beverage Group portfolio, enhancing their reach across both retail and on‑premise channels.
There is satisfaction on both sides, with statements from Mike Morgan and Marilisa Allegrini highlighting shared values, long‑term vision and a strong focus on quality. The Marilisa Allegrini Group also confirms its structured presence in the United States through three different importers: Wilson Daniels Wholesale for Villa Della Torre, Trinchero Family Wine and Spirits for San Polo, and Prestige Beverage Group for Poggio al Tesoro.
A strategic partnership to grow in the U.S. market
The collaboration with Prestige Beverage Group marks a decisive step in Poggio al Tesoro’s expansion in the United States. The American market remains central for high‑end wines, and the importer’s distribution structure offers a significant competitive advantage. Its capillary network ensures a consistent and well‑rooted presence across both retail and on‑premise, two essential channels for a brand focused on territorial identity and quality.
Mike Morgan, Chairman of Prestige Beverage Group, highlights the alignment between the company’s philosophy and that of the Allegrini Group. His reference to “distinctive personality” and the value of family‑owned wineries confirms the strategic coherence between the two partners.
Marilisa Allegrini’s vision: quality, solidity and continuity
Marilisa Allegrini welcomes the new collaboration with enthusiasm. For her, choosing a partner like Prestige Beverage Group ensures a solid and continuous presence in a complex and competitive market. Shared values and a strong focus on quality become key elements in further strengthening Poggio al Tesoro’s position in the United States.
The agreement fits into a broader strategy through which the group oversees the U.S. market with three distinct importers:
- Villa Della Torre with Wilson Daniels Wholesale
- San Polo with Trinchero Family Wine and Spirits
- Poggio al Tesoro with Prestige Beverage Group
A structure designed to enhance the unique identity of each winery.
