THE WINERY – SOLDERA CASE BASSE

CASE BASSE IS AN ESTATE COVERING OVER 23 HECTARES, AT AN ALTITUDE OF 320 METRES, IN THE SOUTHWESTERN AREA OF MONTALCINO; THE AREA PAR EXCELLENCE FOR GROWING THE SANGIOVESE VARIETY.

The history of the Soldera Case Basse winery began in the early 1970s.
Gianfranco and Graziella Soldera nurtured a project to produce a high-quality natural wine and knew they could only achieve this if they found a terroir with certain essential features.

When they discovered Case Basse, they knew they had found what they were looking for. Instinctively realising the potential of the place and bowled over by the beauty of the landscape; Gianfranco and Graziella decided to set up their winery here and planted the first vines between 1972 and 1973, carefully choosing the plots most suitable for growing Sangiovese.

It is thanks to the passion, dedication and care they devoted to this land that an extremely high-quality natural wine appreciated all over the world has been produced at Case Basse since the mid-1970s.

After Gianfranco Soldera passed away in February 2019, the family continued the business in full respect of the principles and founding values of Case Basse.

Graziella Soldera, Monica and Paolo, Mauro and Valeria are strengthening this character today and will enhance it in future with renewed passion, each of them enriching it with their own personality.
