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

WA94
The 1998 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a terrific effort from Soldera. It is an elegantly powerful Brunello that displays expressive aromatics along with a more expansive, fleshier core of fruit and a darker set of cherry, smoke, tar and licorice flavors than the regular bottling. Blessed with notable length as well as broad yet finessed tannins, it displays the transparency and weightlessness that defines’s this producer’s best wines. Awesome. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2025.
