Soldera Case Basse, Sangiovese Toscana IGT Case Basse Soldera 2021

A 100% Sangiovese from Case Basse, the 2021 Soldera Toscana IGT was tasted from barrel at the estate and showed striking freshness and finely layered varietal character. The vintage’s April frost and warm summer form part of its story, while the wine was still developing ahead of its final blend and bottling.

Tasting Notes
Bright and luminous in appearance, it opens with fresh berry fruit, currant and old-fashioned rose, followed by hints of liquorice root and a distinctive wet-slate, rain-on-stone note. These aromas were already closely knit and lifted from the glass when tasted from barrel in November 2024. The tasting report highlights freshness and aromatic intensity, but does not provide a detailed account of the palate or a bottle-aged assessment. Its components were expected to have more time to settle and integrate before bottling, so its evolution in bottle remains to be seen; no specific drinking window is available.

Production
The 2021 growing season included a significant frost on 6–7 April, followed by otherwise normal spring weather and a warm summer. Harvest began on 6 September. The wine was tasted from botte number 10, with the final cuvée still to be assembled and returned to barrel before bottling. The source does not specify vineyard soils, harvesting methods or fermentation details.

Food & Serving
Once bottled and settled, try it with roast or grilled meats, herb-seasoned dishes, or aged hard cheeses—flavours that can complement Sangiovese’s fresh fruit and savoury notes. Serve at around 16–18°C. If opening young, give it time to breathe in the glass or decant gently; avoid an overly long decant until the bottled wine’s development is known.
