The Winery
Soldera
Gianfranco and Graziella Soldera began farming their famous Case Basse vineyard in the 1970’s. At the same time they are devoted to cutting edge vineyard management, which they call “enlightened agriculture,” and old school wine making practices. They work with scholars from universities across Italy to carry out exciting research in their vineyard, and they rest their wines for up to five years in Slovonian Oak casks. They keep them quite and add nothing including cultured yeasts, and they consistently make some of the best Brunello di Montalcino in Tuscany.
Tasting Notes
- WA97
- The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is another epic wine. It is remarkably textured and vivid for a young Soldera, with endless layers of fruit. The wine literally explodes on the palate with sweet hard candy, expressive red fruits, licorice, tobacco and mint. Everything is held wonderfully in place by the silkiest of tannins. From start to finish this is a towering effort. The 2004 Riserva is so beautiful it can be enjoyed with no guilt whatsoever today. Readers should note there are three lots of the Riserva in 2004. This is Lot F77, which is made from Intistieti, the vineyard that has yielded virtually all of Soldera’s most legendary bottles. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2034.
