Goedhuis, August 2022
Solosole means ‘just sunshine’ and that is what this delicious white is made to match. This super refreshing Vermentino, made in the Tuscan sunshine of Bolgheri, offers a really succulent and juicy palate of yellow plums, white peaches, and notes of ripe apricots. The fruit is energised throughout, with hints of mineral salinity which uplift and quench the palate making it utterly irresistible. The estate is owned by Allegrini who purchased it in 2002, and it is made from a particular clone of Vermentino from Corsica that imparts an almost Riesling-like quality. This can also age, but we find it too tantalising to leave alone in its youth!

Vinous, July 2022, Score: 91
The 2021 Vermentino Solosole is laced with hints of pear, spice, white flowers and mint. Stylistically, the 2021 offers lovely brightness and a touch less oiliness than in the past. There's plenty of depth buffered by bright saline notes that extend the finish. Drink 2022-2025.

Located in prime Bolgheri wine-making territory, Poggio al Tesoro is a thriving 70-hectare estate in one of Italy’s most diverse and exciting regions. Meaning ‘hill of treasure’, the estate owes a lot to the late Walter Allegrini, a visionary winemaker from Valpolicella whose love of Bolgheri brought him to the gorgeous hills of Castagneto Carducci. Having been involved in the viticultural aspects of the family business, Walter, alongside sister Marilisa, intuitively grasped the importance of terroir and, in his quest for uniqueness, they both helped put Poggio al Tesoro on the map. Today, the estate is comprised of four vineyards: two situated along the Via Bolgherese, one towards the coast in Le Sondraie, and the fourth in the Municipality of Bibbona.Read less

Region
Bolgheri
The medieval town of Bolgheri was originally made famous by the poet Giosuè Carducci who wrote about the stunning Cypress Avenue, a breathtaking and magical three mile long corridor of trees leading up to the entrance to the village. Swept away to the coastal and most westerly area of Tuscany, Bolgheri has become synonymous with wines known as ‘Super Tuscans'. Composed of classic Bordeaux varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc (intermixed with the occasional Sangiovese), the Super Tuscans began as mere experimentation in the 1960s and 70s. These international French varieties flourished in Bolgheri's warm, yet maritime climate which resulted in unexpected success and reknown. It is here that one finds such famous names as Ornellaia, Tignanello and Sassicaia.
