The 2005 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva from Soldera`s Case Basse estate exemplifies the estate`s dedication to traditional winemaking and the Sangiovese grape. Founded in the early 1970` by Gianfranco and Graziella Soldera, the estate is renowned for producing some of Tuscany`s most esteemed Brunellos. This vintage presents complex notes of soft red cherries, licorice, tobacco, and sweet herbs. The 2005 vintage benefited from favorable weather conditions, leading to healthy, ripe grapes harvested at the end of September. With careful aging in traditional large botti, this wine is approachable now and is anticipated to mature gracefully through 2025+

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.
