The 2007 Vermentino Solosole is a silky, generous white loaded with expressive, perfumed fruit supported by an underlying vein of acidity that provides balance and length. For its Vermentino the estate chose a clone originally from Corsica that allows for a late harvest without sacrificing acidity. This unoaked Vermentino offers uncommon richness and depth. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2010.
Poggio al Tesoro is one of the more ambitious new estates in Tuscany's Bolgheri appellation. The property is owned by importer Leonardo LoCascio and Veneto-based producer Marilisa Allegrini
