Operating on a biodiverse 23-hectare Montalcino estate, the family crafts 100% Sangiovese Toscana IGP—a renegade blue-chip classic that famously left the DOCG to set its own benchmark for purity and extreme quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSensational Cask Scores (96–99 Points)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2021 vintage is shaping up to be an epic release, earning top barrel-tasting praise. \u003cb\u003eWine Advocate (97–99 pts)\u003c\/b\u003e called it an epic expression, highlighting radiant redcurrant, heritage rose, and slate-like minerality with effortless poise. \u003cb\u003eJeb Dunnuck (96–98 pts)\u003c\/b\u003e lauded its tension and vertical focus, brimming with raspberry, blood orange, coiled tannins, and vibrant salinity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn Ultra-Limited Blue-Chip Allocation\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause estate production is capped by strict selection and multi-year cask aging, allocations are measured in single bottles, not cases.

It fully embraces the house style with a bright and luminous appearance that folds seamlessly into fresh berry, redcurrant, heritage rose, licorice root and an elegant note of wet slate or lingering petrichor. All of these beautiful varietal tones are wrapped tightly together and emerge with lifted intensity from the glass. I can't wait to taste this wine from bottle, when these various elements have had more time to amalgamate and settle. I also tasted the very punchy and fruit-forward 2022 vintage from barrel as well as the 2023 vintage that was still quite closed.\" - Monica Larner, Nov. 2024\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/3628\/8822\/files\/jeb_dunnuck_240x240.png?v=1769834039\" alt=\"Jeb Dunnuck Wine Logo\" style=\"margin-bottom: 16px; float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e96-98 Points, Jeb Dunnuck:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\"The 2021 Sangiovese was tasted from a 50-hectoliter cask and displays more tension compared to the 2020 and 2022 vintages. Aromatically, it boasts a more savory and red-fruited profile, with notes of raspberries, licorice, and blood orange. The palate is more vertical as well, with fine coiled tannins, an even spine of acidity and notable mouthwatering salinity, and nervous energy propelling through its long finish. The saline touch is present in each of the wines, though it’s more pronounced in this wine. The 2021 is certainly going to need time to assess, but right now it’s the most austere.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SommSelect","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46983199096886,"sku":"SOMM2607-SOLD21TOSCIGP-750","price":849.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/3628\/8822\/files\/2021SolderaCaseBasse_ToscanaIGP.png?v=1785171417","url":"https:\/\/sommselect.com\/products\/2021-soldera-case-basse-toscana-igp","provider":"SommSelect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
