The Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Soldera 2004 is an exceptional Sangiovese red wine crafted by the esteemed Gianfranco Soldera at Case Basse. This single-vineyard wine originates from a select 10-hectare plot within the Soldera estate, situated in the southern part of Montalcino. The 2004 vintage is characterised by intricate layers of red fruit, herbal notes and earthy undertones. Aged for five years in large Slavonian oak barrels, the wine offers complexity now while possessing the potential for long-term ageing. Available here in magnum format.

The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino is the twin sibling of the 2001, except that the power of the earlier vintage is expressed as total finesse here. Layered and beautifully persistent on the palate, the 2004 is incredibly sensual. It’s a wine of detail and delineation more than of broad strokes or intensity. Dark Sangiovese fruit, hints of spice, cedar, tobacco and crushed flowers build into the haunting finish. Sublime.Antonio Galloni27th June 2024

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.
