The wines produced in this special and historic area will therefore have characteristics of typicity and authenticity linked to the territory of origin.
The 'Solo Sole' from the Poggio al Tesoro winery is a fresh and savory expression of Vermentino from the Bolgheri area. The grapes come from a vineyard of about 7 hectares nicknamed Le Sondraie, characterized by deep soils rich in sand, gravel, and clay of about 13 years of age with a west-facing exposure. In the winery, the grapes are pressed whole cluster and ferment for about 20 days in stainless steel containers with a controlled temperature of 16 degrees. This white will rest for another month in bottle before it can be marketed.
