Soldera Case Basse 2009 is a medium- to full-bodied, single-vineyard Sangiovese red wine from Tuscany, central Italy. Gianfranco Soldera’s wines are regarded as some of the purest and most ethereal expressions of Brunello di Montalcino. From this 2009 Case Basse, expect sweet floral aromas, plus notes of cedar, tobacco and a touch of spice open first. Deceptively medium in body, the wine is translucent and light, with plenty of acidity and tannin structure. It can be enjoyed now, but it’s recommended to cellar it for a few more years.

The 2009 Toscana Sangiovese is another soft, silky wine, in line with the 2007 in this flight. Open-knit aromatics and silky contours run through this soft, mid-weight Sangiovese. Hints of kirsch, sweet red cherry, wildflowers and hard candy linger. 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.
