The 1998 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is better than I expected. It shows the medium-bodied structure of the year, with a compelling inner perfume that adds an exotic, sensual flair. Red cherry, kirsch, white flower and mint build effortlessly, all framed by ripe tannins that add to an impression of finesse.
Producer Information
Case Basse di Gianfranco Soldera, more commonly referred to as Case Basse or Soldera, is a wine estate founded in 1972 in Montalcino, Tuscany. It is known for its prized Brunello wines which, despite high prices, generally sell out on release. The Case Basse vineyard is just two hectares (five acres) in size, while the estate's other plot, Intistieti, covers around 4.5ha (11 acres). Both are planted entirely to Sangiovese, and make a small range of wines under the Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montalcino and IGT Toscana designations – the exact blends and classifications change every year. The estate has expansive rose gardens – containing more than 1500 species – and woods to encourage biodiversity. Vineyard practices are modern and geared towards yield restriction, with short winter pruning, a green pruning in the summer, and grape thinning to aid ripening. In the cellar things are more traditional. The standard label is fermented using natural yeasts and is aged for up to five years in large Slavonian oak in a subterranean cellar which does not require temperature control. The Riserva wine receives an extra year of aging.
