Rare vintage collection for Gianfranco Soldera

A rare and profoundly expressive example from one of Tuscany’s most revered estates, this 1983 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva by Gianfranco Soldera represents the essence of traditional, uncompromising winemaking. Produced in extremely limited quantities at the legendary Case Basse vineyard, this wine embodies Soldera’s singular philosophy: purity of Sangiovese, respect for nature, and patience above all else. Now over four decades old, it stands as a testament to the estate’s extraordinary ageing potential. In the glass, it reveals a complex and evolving bouquet — layers of dried cherry, cassis and rose petals give way to tertiary notes of truffle, leather, tobacco and wild herbs. On the palate, it remains remarkably vibrant and poised, with fine, lingering tannins and a finish of exceptional persistence. A wine of both intellectual depth and quiet power. Presented here in magnum format (150cl) — the ideal vessel for long-term ageing — this is a compelling opportunity for the serious collector or for a truly memorable table centrepiece.
