Soldera Case Basse 2015 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. The 2015 is available here in magnum format. "Tasted from cask. A year described as `very easy` by Gianfanco Soldera. 24,000 bottles expected from their 10 ha of vines, `classic` quantity and quality. The total acidity is likely to be more than 6 g/l by bottling. Pale garnet with leaf-mould arias and striking freshness. This glorious wine is so healthily pure and long, it`s like the most luxurious mouthwash. I remark that I feel I could almost enjoy this tonight but he assures me it needs another four years in cask. Drink between 2022-2044." Jancis Robinson MW, 2018

The 2015 Toscana Sangiovese is a beautifully forward, luscious wine that shows so well today. Radiant and layered, with no hard edges, the 2015 is an absolute delight. The 2015 is part of the Soldera vintages that offer tremendous immediacy yet have the stuffing to age. It is perhaps a touch on the young side today, but who cares? - Antonio Galloni

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.
