The brother and sister-run Tenute Soletta is a new estate by Italian standards, having been created in 1996. They use only their own grapes and focus on this Vermentino and a similarly delicious Cannonau. This Vermentino spends about seven months on the lees, which likely accounts, at least in part, for its richness. A crispness and saline-infused finish keep it in balance and you coming back for more. An excellent match for anything from the sea.
