Tasting notes
To make the 2017 Bolgheri Vermentino Solosole, Poggio al Tesoro sourced Vermentino clones from Corsica, rather than Tuscany. The clone has large, loose clusters that require a lot of extra work in order to manage yields; the vineyard teams do a lot of fruit selection, sometimes berry for berry. This wine is made in stainless steel. They had experimented with oak but that was abandoned. It is fermented at very low temperatures and aged on the lees. The first vintage of this popular white wine was 2006.

Poggio al Tesoro's 2017 Vermentino Solosole is one of the better whites I tasted from the Tuscan coast. Notwithstanding the hot growing season, the Solosole preserves terrific freshness and energy in the more contemporary style this wine is being made in today. I would prefer to drink the 2017 sooner rather than later. Aside from being delicious, it is a screaming value.
