Produced under the meticulous guidance of the Soldera family at their historic Montalcino estate, this expression is crafted entirely from 100% Sangiovese grapes sourced from certified organic, high-biodiversity vineyards. Following a spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts in massive Slavonian oak vats, the wine is aged for nearly four years in old oak casks, preserving its remarkably transparent, unmanipulated character. In the glass, it reveals a luminous, medium-ruby hue with an astonishingly complex and expressive bouquet of wild red cherries, pomegranate, and dark blackberries, interlaced with intricate layers of raw leather, graphite, crushed violets, and exotic sweet spices. The palate is a masterclass in elegance and structured power, delivering a silky, seamless texture where dense fruit flavors are effortlessly supported by tightly wound, velvety tannins and a vibrant thread of mineral acidity. It stands as a profound, long-lived testament to the brilliance of its unique microclimate, showing immense cellaring potential and evolving beautifully with hours of decanting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eFood Pairing:\u003c\/b\u003e This profound and structured Sangiovese pairs magnificently with slow-roasted squab, wild boar ragù, pan-seared venison medallion, or highly aged Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"pipProdProReviews_rating\"\u003e99 Points - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan itemprop=\"author\" class=\"pipProdProReviews_name\"\u003eJeb Dunnuck\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemprop=\"reviewBody\" class=\"pipProdProReviews_review\"\u003eTasted 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.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemprop=\"reviewBody\" class=\"pipProdProReviews_review\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTasted over lunch, the Soldera Case Basse 2020 100% Sangiovese shows a softly textured profile with beautifully polymerized tannins that create a taut sounding board for notes of cassis, small berry fruit, violets and crushed stone. Made with spontaneous fermentation in oversized vats and aged carefully in the family cellars in surrounding quiet and darkness, this soulful wine remains true to the spirit of Sangiovese, defined by clarity and finesse. The 2020 vintage has an accessible, open-knit character that suits it well and clearly distinguishes it from the more austere 2019 and the super precise 2021. In this context, 2020 offers a softer, more delicate interlude between the two.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BSW Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47312744677606,"sku":"SOLDERA1-20","price":1125.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0567\/3759\/5545\/files\/SolderaCaseBasse.jpg?v=1782344112","url":"https:\/\/www.bswliquor.com\/products\/soldera-2020","provider":"BSW Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
