Autumn was marked by mild temperatures, as was the beginning of winter. The cold – but never biting cold – came only between January and February. Ideal rainfall in the spring also saw sharp drops in temperature until the end of May, putting a strain on vegetative growth. The use of protective and stimulating factors, such as algae and natural substances which could boost the vines’ energy, enabled us to cope well with this delicate period.

Tasting notes
The radiance of the Vermentino varietal reflects intensely in the aromas of Solosole, a white wine that captivates with its intense hints of flowers and unexpected yellow fruit. The palate has a medium body, is succulent and highly enjoyable. The development of the wine in the glass suggests that it has the potential to evolve for a few years.
