2023 Poggio al Tesoro ‘Solosole’ Vermentino Bolgheri
£25.00
Certified sustainable (3E Equalitas).
“Honeysuckle and lemon verbena nose followed by a wash of apricot, pineapple and Meyer lemon, the acidity thrumming through it like an electric current. The texture, finely, finely grainy, curves around and through the piercing purity of the fruit, giving the wine spine-tingling length. And then it’s a silky finish prickling with heather, thyme and white pepper. An infinitely superior Vermentino.”
17.5/20 Tamlyn Currin for Jancis Robinson MW
“Fresh and characterful vermentino that offers notes of apples, white peaches, raw almonds and peach pits. A lot of flowers, too. Medium- to full-bodied, focused and structured with good volume and delicious fruit. Dry, juicy and minerally with a lingering finish. Hints of licorice.”
