Soldera Case Basse Toscana 2014 from Case Basse di Gianfranco Soldera is a fine wine from Toscana IGT, Tuscany, Italy. Made from Sangiovese, in a 750ml bottle. A distinguished addition to any cellar, ideal for collectors and refined dining.

In 2014, the very challenging, wet growing season yielded just a single cask of Sangiovese that I was able to taste a few times before it was bottled. From the beginning, the 2014 was mesmerizing. It is all that and more today. Powerful and yet translucent in the glass, the 2014 presents a beguiling mélange of dark cherry, plum, lavender, spice and leather. I would be in no rush to open the 2014 today, as it is still very young. Soldera has historically done quite well in difficult years. I won’t be at all surprised if the 2014 turns out even better than this note suggests.
