Soldera Case Basse 2006 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 2006 Case Basse. "Once again, my impression is that the 2006 Brunello di Montalcino is not fully formed. Surprisingly refined, silky and polished, the 2006 is quite beautiful, but it also does not appear to have the structure of the best vintages. There is plenty of time, though, so it will be interesting to see how the 2006 develops over the coming years and decades." Vinous, 2015

The 2006 Toscana Sangiovese was released after Soldera lost most of the 2007-2012 vintages. It is essentially another cask, separate from what was released as the Brunello Riserva. Delicate and hauntingly aromatic, the 2006 is a gorgeous, understated wine. Hints of dark cherry, cinnamon and rose petals open gracefully. There’s a good bit of power, but it is tempered by the wine's generally finessed style, especially compared to more potent vintages. It’s a fine conclusion to this unforgettable tasting.Antonio Galloni27th June 2024

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.
