Review Date: 02/2024Tasted from a 65-hectoliter cask, the 2020 Sangiovese is plush and fruity at this stage, although it’s starting to reveal its mineral underpinnings, with dark blackberry notes, graphite, and violets. Medium to full-bodied, it offers a velvety texture, with ripe and refined tannins, a good deal of meaty richness through the mid-palate, and a seamless structure. There’s both purity and refinement across each of the samples tasted. The 2020 showed a good deal of completeness already prior to bottling and I expect it will have a good deal of cellaring potential. (AF)

Notes
The 2020 vintage of Soldera 100% Sangiovese IGT continues the legacy of Case Basse under the stewardship of the Soldera family, led by Monica Soldera, her husband Gianpaolo Franco, and her brother Mauro. This is the second vintage produced entirely after the passing of Gianfranco Soldera, yet the guiding principles—biodiversity, extreme selection, and non-interventionist winemaking—remain resolutely intact. From 10 hectares of southwest-facing vines rooted in schistic galestro and marine fossil soils, the 2020 reflects the purity and transparency of this singular site just outside Montalcino. Fermentation occurred spontaneously in large Slavonian oak botti using native yeasts isolated and studied by the family annually. Aged for nearly four years in old oak casks, the wine was recently bottled at the estate.
