Soldera Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2000 is a full-bodied Sangiovese red wine from the Montalcino sub-region of Tuscany, central Italy. Soldera was founded by Gianfranco and Graziella Soldera in 1970 and quickly established a reputation for producing some of the most highly sought-after Brunellos which highlight the terroir of their Case Basse property`s Sangiovese vineyards. On the 2000. "Soldera’s 2000 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva offers layers of sublime perfumed ripe fruit that blossom on the palate with great concentration, length, finesse and purity of expression. Deceptively medium-bodied, today it comes across as elegant and somewhat restrained but the structure is there and in time it is likely to put on weight and mature into a darker set of flavours. Soldera’s 2000 Brunello Riserva is a remarkable achievement for the vintage and will drink well for several decades." Robert Parker

Next, we move into to a flight of Riservas, vintages I expected to be quite open and ready to drink. The 2000 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva does not disappoint. Medium in body, silky and perfumed, the 2000 is a fine place to offer maximum drinking pleasure today. Hints of plum, spice, leather and dried flowers grace this pliant, super-expressive Brunello. The 2000 is all elegance and class. It’s a fine choice for drinking now.

Soldera Case Basse

Visionary Brunello with natural purity

The late Gianfranco Soldera was a visionary producer of some the purest and most ethereal expressions of Brunello di Montalcino. A former insurance broker, Soldera purchased his Case Basse estate in 1972. Until his death in 2019 at the age of 82, he was a zealous guardian of its unique terroir and the wines it produced.

With his botanist wife, Graziella, Soldera created Case Basse as an extraordinary ecosystem, including a two-hectare botanical park with more than 1,500 unique rose varieties, and a habitat for insect species that predate on vine parasites – thus allowing Soldera to forgo pesticides in his vineyards.

Beyond terroir, Soldera believed that the most important element for creating truly great wines was time. In practice, this meant slow fermentations (for a month or more), solely of free-run juice only, in large old slavonian oak vats without temperature control, followed by extended maturation in the same vessels – lasting up to six years for the flagship riserva bottlings.

With their trademark structure, hedonistic richness and beguiling aromatics, the wines of Soldera are unmistakeable. To have the opportunity to taste one at the peak of its maturity (such as the exquisite 1990), is a rare pleasure.
