The Soldera Case Basse 2020 is an expressive and profound 100% Sangiovese that reflects the unique ecosystem of Case Basse in southwest Montalcino with remarkable precision and elegance. In the glass, it displays a brilliant ruby red with a gently translucent rim that speaks to both its youth and its classical styling. On the nose, a complex, finely nuanced bouquet unfolds with intense notes of red cherries, rosehip, dried rose petals, and a touch of sweet spice, accompanied by subtle hints of tobacco, tar, and damp forest floor—an aromatic spectrum of extraordinary depth and finesse. On the palate, the wine is defined by crystalline clarity and poise: silky in texture, with a finely chiselled yet present tannic frame carried by vibrant, seamlessly integrated acidity. Medium-to-full-bodied yet weightless, it is threaded with a mineral freshness that forms the spine of the wine. In the long, aristocratic finish, savoury mineral notes and delicate spice emerge, lending an added dimension. Despite the warmth of the growing season, the 2020 vintage displays remarkable harmony, transparency, and longevity—a classic Soldera of noble bearing that already impresses with its inner calm and balance while promising decades of evolution.
