The estate and the wine |
|
|
Case Basse by Gianfranco Soldera is one of the most sought-after estates in the world.
Free of any unnecessary flash, his wines reflect the man himself: delicate, subtle, intense — masterpieces of finesse, unfolding in layer upon layer of aromatic complexity.
On the terroir of Brunello di Montalcino, few — if any — can compare. Here, Sangiovese reaches a level of expression that defies logic. This is where great wine is born: outside any formula, in perfect harmony. Only 10 hectares of vines make up this singular cuvée, Soldera, grown on volcanic soils at 350 metres altitude, and labeled IGT Toscana since the 2006 vintage.
Discover the latest vintage of the legendary Soldera — a truly magical wine, standing shoulder to shoulder with global icons like Petrus, Vega Sicilia, and Tuscany’s elite: Sassicaia, Ornellaia, Solaia. |

After 45 months of aging in barrels, the 2019 Red IGT Toscana Soldera Case Basse reveals a sumptuous density. This vintage is also significant as it’s the first produced without Gianfranco Soldera, who sadly passed away in his vineyards in February of that year. However, his family—Graziella, Monica, Paolo, Mauro, and Valeria—continues to manage the estate. True to the estate’s style and Gianfranco's vision, this wine once again showcases an exquisite array of aromas and delicacy. Its remarkable finesse has become a benchmark for the new wave of Italian winemaking, living up to the myth of Soldera. This unique, rare, and timeless wine transcends trends and is a must-try at least once in a lifetime. |
