Soldera Case Basse 1999 is a medium- to full-bodied, single-vineyard Sangiovese red wine from the Montalcino sub-region of Tuscany, central Italy. With a career spanning five decades, the late Gianfranco Soldera produced what are regarded as some of the purest and most ethereal expressions of Brunello di Montalcino. Until his death in 2019 at the age of 82, he was a zealous guardian of its unique terroir and the wines it produced. On the 1999 Case Basse. "Today, the 1999 Brunello di Montalcino is simply gorgeous. Frankly, I am amazed (and delighted) at how it has come together. Sweet, floral and perfumed, the 1999 remains a relatively mid-weight wine by Soldera standards, but that just adds to immediacy and appeal. Stylistically, the 1999 is a delicate wine, but it has turned out far better than I ever thought it would." Vinous, 2014

The 1999 Brunello di Montalcino is focused, vibrant and high-toned. I bought six bottles of this on release and can attest to the remarkable transformation this wine has had since its early days. The style is one of linear intensity and brightness, with notably delineated lines sketching the Sangiovese fruit.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.
