Golden yellow in color with greenish hues, Solosole opens with notes of stone fruits such as peach and apricot, followed by sulphurous and flint-like notes. It has a medium body, with generous fruit character. The finish is long, dry and zesty, especially when young. It evolves interestingly in the glass, an indication of its excellent ageing capacity. Pair with appetizers, raw fish and, thanks to its freshness and aromatic character, fried seafood, fish stews and vegetable dishes.

Yellow-peach, tropical-fruit and Mediterranean brush aromas follow through to the fresh, rounded palate along with a vein of saline and white grapefruit. It's juicy and savory, with a bitter-almond finish.

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.

Fresh and vibrant, this white offers apple, almond, white pepper and sage aromas and flavors. Balanced and tangy on the finish.
