It was a bit confusing to me as Vertus is so close to Veritas (truth) and Virtus (moral virtue).
The best I've found is:
Remembering that you can't always just transliterate, my best guess for Vertus Sola Nobilitas is:
"Solitude Turned [into] Nobility/Greatness"
"Sola" is the plural, nominative (subject) form of Solus -"alone"
"Nobilitas" is the plural, accusative (direct object) form of Nobilita -"nobility" (that was a medievally invented word, so not in classical latin dictionaries)
"Vertus" - is the perfect participle of Verto -a VERB meaning "to turn" I would guess the verb is Verto, Verere, Verti, Vertus "having been turned".

I'd guess you mean "virtus sola nobilitas"; that means "virtue (in the sense of "good character") is the only nobility"

Truth is the only nobility.
Edit:
be aware that my answer is just a guess. The poster after me seems more informed in Latin.

if you heard it from a Spanish speaking person i think it's
"ver tu sola tus novelitas"
which means "watch your soap operas all by yourself"
