| From the same vineyards used to make Brunello Riserva in previous vintages, Gianfranco's estate 100% Sangiovese is used in vinification, which is completely natural and carried out in traditional Slavonian oak vats. In the wine cellar, which is a temple 8 meter below ground rounded and paved by tons of stones, the Sangiovese ferments in wooden vats with no temperature control and no selected yeasts and ages in large Slavonian casks for up to six years; time and passion is the only intervention. The wines are the perfect interpretation of Gianfranco's definition of elegance, balance, and tradition. They are warm, open, and fantastically lively with opulent aromatic flavors and great complexity. His wines beautifully express the best of Sangiovese.

2007 Soldera Case Basse Toscana Sangiovese $675 bottle
97 Points Antonio Galloni “A big, textured wine, the 2007 Toscana Sangiovese bursts on the palate with layers of deep, expressive fruit. Beautifully resonant and explosive to the core, the 2007 boasts stunning purity and fabulous overall balance. Firm tannins support a bright finish laced with red berries, sweet tobacco and underbrush. The 2007 spent longer in oak than the 2008, so it is closer in style to Soldera's previous wines. Today, the 2007 is a real thrill. Sadly, there are fewer than 2,000 bottles to go around.”

| 2008 Soldera Case Basse Toscana Sangiovese $675 bottle
97 Points Antonio Galloni “After the highly unusual and exotic 2007, the 2008 Toscana Sangiovese marks a return to a more classic Soldera style. Here the flavors are quite bold and savory, while the structure is that of a wine built for aging. Sage, rosemary, tobacco, mint and leather notes wrap around a core of dark red stone fruits as this vivid, crystalline wine shows off its personality and pedigree. Readers lucky enough to find the 2008 are in for a thrill.”
