100% Sangiovese Soldera Case Basse Toscana IGP 2018
Case Basse di Gianfranco Soldera | Tuscany
Soc. Agr. Case Basse di Gianfranco Soldera | Loc. Case Basse | IT 53024 Montalcino
Deep, rich ruby red colour. Intoxicating nose with clearly perceptible herbal spice, wonderfully layered with hints of mint and young leather. Lively, vibrant dark red cherry flavours paired with fine, original grape sweetness on the palate, always with a precision and structure that is rarely found in a glass. Its purity, vibrancy and deeply impressive personality are revealed with every sip. Rarely has a Sangiovese made us so devout. It has everything that makes a perfect wine! SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2018 Sangiovese dazzles the senses with an exotic bouquet that keeps the glass in constant motion as sandalwood and crushed stones complicate rhubarb and violet floral aromas, all engulfing a core of brilliant strawberry fruit. This is a racy and sleek effort, with silky yet lifted textures and vibrant acidity that embellishes its ripe wild berry fruits. The 2018 finishes with dramatic length and is full of energy. An orange tinge offsets edgy tannins, and purple inner florals slowly fade over a lingering note of hard red candies. I have never experienced such a racy rendition of Soldera, yet this remains loaded with character and expertly balanced. Don’t miss it." Vinous
"Soldera fans will be very pleased with this latest release, which, despite the uneven growing season (with a wet and cool spring and a hot summer), shows tremendous Sangiovese character and lustre. The legendary Gianfranco Soldera died of a heart attack on the morning of 16 February 2019 while driving along the bucolic, vineyard-lined road near his winery. This means that this is the last vintage to be managed directly by Soldera, a man who was very active in the vineyards and winery until the very end. As a farewell gift, he presents us with a finely nuanced wine with flavours of cassis, wild berries, rosemary, pencil shavings and blood orange. This is a beautiful wine that pays tribute not only to Gianfranco Soldera, but also to his non-interventionist vision of Italian wine that has influenced so many younger winemakers." Wine Advocate
