A good dose of air coaxes out the maturing aromas and flavors of sandalwood, leather, underbrush, sweet cherry and mineral. This intriguing red displays lightness and elegance without sacrificing structure or intensity. Features a savory finish. Best from 2015 through 2032. 375 cases made. –BS
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.
