An Iron Gate storage client, this consignor became interested in wine while visiting Napa in 2014. He attended a tasting at Del Dotto and was fascinated by the effect different oak barrels had on the same grape. The wines at auction were bought directly from LCBO and have been stored in a Eurocave cellar since acquisition.
The score for 2013 Case Basse di Gianfranco Soldera Sangiovese Toscana IGT is 94 from Vinous and the tasting note - The 2013 Sangiovese is the first wine at Soldera in which production bounces back to normal. Silky and beautifully perfumed in the glass, the 2013 is gracious, airy and wonderfully refined. Bright red cherry fruit, chalk, mint and wild roses soar out of the glass. It will be interesting to see where the 2013 goes in time. Over the years, I have learned that these wines have a way of transforming in bottle that is hard to predict. Today, the 2013 comes across as on the lighter side, although I have tasted some bottles that show more depth.
