Soldera’s 2000 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva offers layers of sublime perfumed ripe fruit that blossom on the palate with great concentration, length, finesse and purity of expression. Deceptively medium-bodied, today it comes across as elegant and somewhat restrained but the structure is there and in time it is likely to put on weight and mature into a darker set of flavors. Soldera’s 2000 Brunello Riserva is a remarkable achievement for the vintage and will drink well for several decades. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2025.
Producer
Case Basse - Gianfranco Soldera
Founded in 1972 by Gianfrano Soldera, the Casse Basse property sits on the southwestern part of the Montalcino area. Consisting of 24 hectares, of which 12 are planted to vines, Soldera has, and continues to produce some of the most provocative Brunellos on the market. Using time to his advantage, Soldera ages his wine in large, old Slavonian oak for up to six years, as compared to modern age techniques that use French barriques and much less time. In the end, his wines combine great concentration, richness and aromatic complexity – making them among the greatest Brunellos of all time.
