Case Basse Riserva Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2009
A bodacious nose that is a mixture of red and black fruit. A little more weight on the palate than what I have encountered with Soldera. .Tons of fruit and energy take control. — 17 days ago

Riserva Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 1998
Mini vertical ‘98, ‘06, ‘09. This was my favorite. Wonderful aromas of licorice,leather, plums and black cherry are all replicated on the palate. Except for the color, a red core and a brick rim one would be hard pressed to guess its age — a month ago
It is hard to explain the tactile experience of this wine. Once you have Soldera you can truly understand all the fuss about Brunello di Montalcino i reckon.
No others producers are close to his level, some have taken the same direction, but it is a long way to catch up.

Perfranco Sur Lì Lambrusco di Salamino di Santa Croce Rosato
Not the same cuvée. To gianfranco. This is from Capri. Orangic pet nat. Tastes super hipster. Hazy, unclean. Rich fruit, but bitter-dry. — 3 years ago

The ‘19 of this wine is quite good. Vibrant dark ruby color. The nose seems quite youthful, giving off scents of spiced, smoky minerality along with breast, yeasty notes. There also crisp mountain berry, cherry fruit. A big heck of fruit initially, but in a tight, zingy frame that has surprisingly crisp acids and a skein of tightly wound, very fine-grained tannins. The mouthfeel almost reminds me of a young Saint-Joseph from the Northern Rhone, though the flavors are different. Distinctive! — 5 days ago
