The 2022 Poggio al Tesoro Solosole Vermentino Bolgheri DOC is a vibrant expression of 100% Vermentino from the coastal vineyards of Bolgheri, Tuscany. Influenced by cooling Mediterranean breezes, it captures the freshness and character of this renowned wine region. The nose is fragrant and inviting, revealing aromas of white flowers, citrus zest, yellow peach and ripe stone fruit, with subtle herbal notes and a distinctive saline minerality.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with crisp natural acidity and a succulent, beautifully textured mouthfeel. Flavours of lemon, grapefruit and golden orchard fruits are complemented by mineral notes and a gentle savoury edge, leading to a long, refreshing finish. Fermented in stainless steel and aged on fine lees, the wine retains exceptional purity and freshness while offering enough structure to develop over the next 3–5 years.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who enjoy elegant Mediterranean whites with vibrant citrus fruit, refreshing minerality and outstanding versatility at the table. Pair it with fresh oysters, grilled prawns, seafood pasta, fried calamari or vegetarian dishes. Serve well chilled and enjoy now for its freshness or cellar for a few years to gain additional complexity.
