Gianfranco Soldera walked away from the Brunello consorzio in 2013, which is why one of Montalcino's most legendary wines now goes out the door labeled simply as Toscana Sangiovese. The wine did not change; only the paperwork did. Case Basse is farmed more like a nature reserve than a vineyard, with the famous garden, the hedgerows and the insects treated as part of the system rather than a nuisance, and the winemaking is unbendingly traditional: long fermentations, years in large old Slavonian casks, no new oak allowed anywhere near it. Gianfranco died in 2019 and his family has carried the estate on exactly as he left it, which is to say without compromise. This is Sangiovese at its most uncompromising and long-lived, and it has decades ahead of it.

"Tasted over lunch, the Soldera Case Basse 2020 100% Sangiovese shows a softly textured profile with beautifully polymerized tannins that create a taut sounding board for notes of cassis, small berry fruit, violets and crushed stone. Made with spontaneous fermentation in oversized vats and aged carefully in the family cellars in surrounding quiet and darkness, this soulful wine remains true to the spirit of Sangiovese, defined by clarity and finesse. The 2020 vintage has an accessible, open-knit character that suits it well and clearly distinguishes it from the more austere 2019 and the super precise 2021. In this context, 2020 offers a softer, more delicate interlude between the two." —Monica Larner

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Bistecca alla Fiorentina, wild boar ragu, roast game birds, or aged pecorino. Give it a long decant and a serious meal; it does not want to be rushed.

Tasting Profile

Sour cherry, dried herbs, orange peel, tobacco and forest floor. High-toned and firmly structured, with piercing acidity and fine tannins. Built for the long haul.
