🏰 The 2018 Soldera Brunello di Montalcino Case Basse is an undoubtedly outstanding and highly collectible wine, captivating with its noble character and impressive complexity. This vintage holds particular significance as it is the last vintage directly overseen by the legendary Gianfranco Soldera, who remained active until his passing in early 2019. Despite an uneven growing season with a wet and cool spring and a hot summer, the wine maintains enormous Sangiovese character and brightness. It offers intense aromas of ripe cherry, red fruits, violets, sweet spices, and earthy notes. On the palate, it reveals a silky structure, fine and integrated tannins, vibrant acidity, and an extraordinarily long and persistent finish. Dark berry aromas blend with nuances of plum, tobacco, and a hint of dark chocolate, giving the wine a tantalizing depth. 【The last vintage directly overseen by the legendary Gianfranco Soldera, showcasing enormous Sangiovese character and brightness】.
