Soldera
Podere Case Basse, home to Soldera, is a world-renowned estate where Sangiovese is cultivated entirely by hand, organically and with minimal intervention, producing wines of exceptional purity, structure, and longevity. Founded in the 1970s by Gianfranco and Graziella Soldera and now guided by their daughter Monica and husband Paolo, the winery thrives on sun-drenched, mineral-rich volcanic soils, meticulous vineyard selection, and a philosophy that places nature and terroir at the center of every decision. With ongoing research, careful sorting, and aging in carefully designed underground oak vats, Soldera crafts wines built to last decades, while advancing viticultural knowledge for future generations through initiatives like the Soldera Award.
Our Relationship
When I got started importing, I always dreamed of working with 2 wineries… Soldera and Quintarelli. I've been lucky to work with them both, and to have spent hours with Gianfranco Soldera at timeless lunches has been a real highlight to my life in wine. There really isn't an appropriate way to describe the property... it just leaves you in awe when you taste the wines out of barrel, understand the meticulous farming methods in place - literally down to the exact number of leaves per vine desired per vintage, and an amazing 2 acre garden with over 1,000 species of flowers intended to create a unique ecosystem in the vineyards. The wines were blessed by DRC and Conterno to be the best of Sangiovese and Brunello in the early 90's. Since then they've been the darling of Italian wine lovers.
