Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2017 Vermentino Solosole Pagus Camilla, is a dense, powerful white qualities that are accentuated by the warm, dry year. Rich and creamy in the glass, the Pagus Camilla shows the more extroverted side of Vermentino off to great effect.

Producer Information

Poggio al Tesoro is an Italian wine estate situated in the Bolgheri district of the Tuscan coast. The 70-hectare (173-acre) estate is owned by the well-known Allegrini family winemaking dynasty and produces a portfolio of several Toscana IGT and Bolgheri wines, including a single Bolgheri Superiore wine: Sondraia. The estate consists of four vineyard sites in Bolgheri: Via Bolgherese, Le Grottine, Valle di Cerbaia and Le Sondraie. These vineyards are predominantly planted to Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, which thrive in the largely sandy, stony soils. The more clay- and mineral-rich soils are particularly suited to the cultivation of Merlot. This is supplemented with additional plantings of Petit Verdot, Syrah, Vermentino and Viognier. The Sondraia Bolgheri superiore wine is a Cabernet Sauvignon-predominant Bordeaux blend, with smaller quantities of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. These grapes are hand-harvested from the Via Bolgherese and Le Sondraie vineyards and the wine aged for 18 months in 50 percent new French oak barriques. Tenuta Poggio al Tesoro also makes several single-vineyard offerings, including Solosole, a varietal Bolgheri Bianco Vermentino wine; Cassiopea, a Rosato di Bolgheri blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc; and Mediterra, a Toscana IGT red wine blend.
