{"product_id":"soldera-case-basse-2021-750ml","title":"Soldera Case Basse 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003eMontalcino's great outlier: 100% Sangiovese, fermented by native yeasts in large Slavonian oak vats with no temperature control, then aged for years in big Slavonian casks. Gianfranco Soldera refused barriques outright, calling them a fix for wines that hadn't gotten enough from their grapes. A Milan insurance broker, he bought the derelict Case Basse property in 1972 and rebuilt it around two vineyards, Case Basse and Intistieti, at roughly 320 meters on Montalcino's southwestern flank, with his wife Graziella's botanical park of more than 1,500 rose varieties and its beehives doing the work chemicals do elsewhere. Output has always been tiny, around 15,000 bottles in a normal year, and the family has kept the method unchanged since Gianfranco's death in 2019. The wine goes out as Toscana IGT rather than Brunello, which tells you how much this house cares for categories. A frost in early April 2021 cut the crop, then a warm summer was tempered by late-August rain and cool September nights, giving a classically proportioned vintage built for the long haul.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beaune Imports [BEI]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43506951880739,"sku":"SF-5-BEI--072926-26","price":699.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/1208\/0163\/files\/DSC-0070.jpg?v=1790401845","url":"https:\/\/sf.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/soldera-case-basse-2021-750ml","provider":"Flatiron SF","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
