The Lilium Soldera blooms in the botanical garden of Case Basse. A variety that was named after its founder because when it first bloomed, the grower thought of the flavour of a wine that had given him an unforgettable moment. No coincidence: Gianfranco Soldera was never just a winegrower. He was a botanist, a naturalist, a visionary – one who believed that wine in its purest form is a reflection of the entire biodiversity of a place. The bees, the flowers, the insects, the soil: All part of a single system that ultimately culminates in a bottle.
2021 was a year of classic elegance in Montalcino – cooler nights, pronounced temperature fluctuations, slow and even ripening. This is the ideal setting for a wine that has always favoured transparency over concentration. Spontaneous fermentation in large Slavonian oak vats, exclusively with the estate's own isolated yeasts, patient ageing in large barrels, six months in the bottle.
Bright ruby red colour, transparent and brilliant. Dark cherry, blood orange, violets, tobacco and a hint of pepper on the nose – clear, precise, with a depth that only gradually reveals itself. Extraordinary purity on the palate: the finest tannins, vibrant acidity, mineral rigour and a final that stretches out like a long breath. Not a wine for tonight. One for the next twenty years – and the promise that the best is yet to come. SUPERIORE.DE
"Tasted from barrel at the winery, the Soldera Case Basse 2021 100% Sangiovese is shaping up to be an epic wine from an excellent vintage. It fully embraces the house style with a bright and luminous appearance that folds seamlessly into fresh berry, redcurrant, heritage rose, licorice root and an elegant note of wet slate or lingering petrichor. All of these beautiful varietal tones are wrapped tightly together and emerge with lifted intensity from the glass. I can't wait to taste this wine from bottle, when these various elements have had more time to amalgamate and settle." Wine Advocate
