One of Italy's most sought-after and collectible unicorn wines, the Soldera Case Basse 2016 100% Sangiovese is mysterious, illusive and hard to find. From a classic vintage, the wine's personality is extremely delicate and ethereal, following lock in step with the house style passionately promoted and secured by the late Gianfranco Soldera. The man himself, remembered as an outspoken genius who made invaluable contributions to the Brunello di Montalcino appellation, died in 2019. This vintage was made under his watchful eye, and it ties in nicely with recent past releases of this wine (once a Brunello) now labeled rather matter-of-factly (and with a tinge of provocation) 100% Sangiovese. The bouquet offers wild cherry, blue flower, candied orange peel and hints of rusty nail. The mouthfeel is polished, fine and silky. There is a hint of iodine or medicinal gel that will not appeal to everyone, but then again, beauty is sometimes found in the unexpected.

Purity of fruit is the standout as the 2016 Sangiovese blossoms in the glass. This is classic in every sense of the word, with violet and rose florals, dried strawberries, hints of blood orange and crushed rocks. It’s sleek and textural, yet not weighty, instead impressing with its nervous acidity, as tart red berries and a stern minerality create a savory sensation while taking on inner violet tones toward the close. There’s a bitter tug of tannin and cheek-puckering austerity that reminds you that the 2016 is still in its infancy; however, through it all, a sour hint of citrus maintains wonderful freshness. The 2016 will require patience, and a lot of it, but the potential here is off the charts.
