The unthinkable has happened in Montalcino.
Vandals broke in at Case Basse da Gianfranco Soldera in Montalcino. They broke in into the cellars of the estate and opened all the taps of the barrels and vasques and let all the wine from 6 years of work, from 2007 till 2012 run into the sewers.
600 Hl of pure sangiovese grosso or Brunello in it purest form are lost.
Case Basse di Gianfranco Soldera, or in short Soldera, is whitout doubt one of the most famous wine houses in Montalcino. Terroir is the key here. His respect for the nature and the passion for a complete ecosystem in balance make his Brunello wines unique and one of the best wines in the world.
Beside the financial disaster this means especialy 6 years of his life work lost forever. A sureal idea.
We wish the family all the strenght and courage and we will support them in any way we can.
