Large botti at Soldera

I can’t believe the news.

Vandals have broken into Gianfranco Soldera’s winery and opened the vats on all the wines from 2007-2012 vintages. Rougly 600 hectolitres were washed away. Once more information comes to light, I will post links to the news.

Gianfranco Soldera will bounce back from this tradegy and those of us with bottles of Soldera in our cellar, should drink a bottle and the salute the gtreatness that is Soldera.
