Soldera: A Story of Conviction

In 1972, Gianfranco and Graziella Soldera acquired the abandoned Case Basse estate in Montalcino, with a simple but ambitious vision: to create one of Italy’s greatest wines. Over the following decades, Soldera became a benchmark for uncompromising quality, producing wines that reflected both place and time with remarkable purity.

Then, in 2012, tragedy struck. A former employee deliberately opened several ageing casks, causing the loss of multiple vintages and tens of thousands of litres of wine.

For many producers, such an event could have marked the end.
For Soldera, it became part of the story.
Rather than compromising standards or changing direction, the estate continued to follow the same philosophy that had defined Case Basse from the beginning: respect for nature, patience, and absolute dedication to quality.

Today, Soldera is admired not only for its rarity, but for the values behind every bottle.

Soldera:一个关于坚持的故事

1972年,Gianfranco 与 Graziella Soldera 买下了位于 Montalcino、当时已被荒废的 Case Basse 庄园。他们的目标很简单,却充满雄心:酿造意大利最伟大的葡萄酒之一。此后数十年间,Soldera 凭借对品质近乎苛刻的坚持,成为意大利葡萄酒世界中极具代表性的名字。

然而在2012年,一场突如其来的事件震惊了整个葡萄酒界。一名前员工蓄意打开酒窖中的陈年酒桶,导致多个年份、数万升葡萄酒被毁。

对于许多酒庄而言,这样的打击足以改变一切。

对于 Soldera 而言,它只是传奇的一部分。
酒庄并没有改变方向,也没有降低标准。他们依然坚持最初的理念:尊重自然、保持耐心、追求极致品质。

今天,人们追寻 Soldera,不仅因为它的稀缺。更因为它代表了一种历经时间与考验依然不变的坚持。

Old Vintages vs New Releases: What the Data Reveals

Collectors often ask: Which matters more? The maturity and rarity of older vintages, or the opportunity presented by new releases?

The truth is: both reflect different dimensions of the same market.

Some of the world’s most celebrated wines have built their reputation over decades. Others attract attention immediately upon release. Rather than approaching this as a choice, we looked at the data.

In our latest G&R White Paper, Classification of Grand Cru Italy 2024, we analysed decades of our auction hammer results, tracking:
• Performance of leading Italian labels
• Collector demand across vintages
• Historic market behaviour across time
• The most consistently sought-after vintages from key producers

The results highlight how collector preferences evolve — not in a straight line, but in cycles shaped by availability, perception, and market timing. Because in fine wine, the market often reveals patterns before they become widely understood.

The White Paper is available as a complimentary download. DM us for your copy.

老年份 vs 新年份:数据揭示的市场逻辑

在精品名庄葡萄酒收藏中,一个问题始终存在:应该关注老年份,还是新年份?有人偏爱老年份的时间沉淀与稀缺性。也有人关注新年份发布时的机会与配额结构。

但从市场角度来看,这并不是一个“二选一”的问题。而是同一市场在不同阶段的呈现方式。

在2024年最新发布的 G&R《意大利精品名庄葡萄酒分级制度白皮书》 中,我们整理并分析了数十年的拍卖落槌数据,涵盖:
• 意大利核心名庄的长期表现
• 不同年份的市场关注度变化
• 历史拍卖成交趋势
• 各大酒庄持续受追捧的经典年份

当时间被拉长观察,藏家的偏好并不是线性变化,而是在不同周期中不断重构。因为很多时候,市场比我们更早形成判断。

True Wine Collecting Is No Longer Just About Buying Wine

For years, many collectors believed: “Older vintages are always the most valuable.” But increasingly, the real competition among top collectors happens much earlier: at the allocation stage of new releases.

What is allocation?
In simple terms, many leading wine estates no longer release their wines entirely to the open market. Before official release, significant quantities are already reserved through:
- long-term private clients
- international fine wine merchants
- auction house networks
- Michelin-starred restaurant channels
- VIP collector allocations
- strategic distribution partnerships
- long-standing estate relationships

As a result, true scarcity today is often not about price. It is about access. Wines such as Masseto, Sassicaia, Solaia, Monfortino Riserva, are frequently secured long before they reach broader circulation.

That’s why we provide exclusive direct connection for our club members to access the top producers with a secured and much earlier manner.

真正的葡萄酒收藏,早已不只是“买酒”。

很多人以为“老年份才最值得收藏。” 但如今越来越多顶级藏家真正竞争的,其实是:新年份发布时的 allocation(配额)。

什么是配额?
简单来说,很多顶级酒庄不会将酒完全公开销售。在正式上市之前,大量酒款已经优先分配给:
- 长期合作客户
- 国际精品酒商
- 拍卖行核心客户
- 米其林及高端餐饮渠道
- VIP藏家配额
- 战略分销合作网络
- 酒庄长期合作关系体系

因此现在真正稀缺的,很多时候并不是酒本身,而是:“最先获得 access 的资格”。例如:Masseto、Sassicaia、Solaia、Monfortino Riserva 等很多热门年份,在进入公开市场之前,已经被核心客户体系提前锁定。

通过 G&R Member Club,会员可优先获得稀缺意大利名酒配额与私人采购的机会。

Some wines speak loudly.
Montevertine never needed to. 🍷

1987 was a vintage built for patience and Montevertine turned it into poetry.

Pure Sangiovese.
No compromise. No trends. Just terroir.

Some bottles impress.
Others stay with you.

**
有些酒,靠张扬令人记住。
Montevertine 从来不需要。🍷

1987,是属于耐心的年份。
而 Montevertine,把它酿成了诗。

纯粹的 Sangiovese。
不追随潮流,只忠于风土。

有些酒令人惊艳,
有些酒,让人久久难忘。

Not every investment-worthy Italian wine is an old vintage.
Some of the strongest opportunities are being released right now. 🍷

Collectors are closely watching these recent Italian releases:
• Masseto 2020/2021 — Italy’s benchmark blue-chip, with consistent secondary-market strength (according to Wine-Searcher)
• Sassicaia 2021/2022 — among the most traded and resilient Super Tuscans (according to Decanter)
• Ornellaia 2021/2022 — proven international demand and stable long-term value (according to Decanter)
• Solaia 2021/2022 — highly allocated, critic-driven, and increasingly scarce (according to Decanter)
• Monfortino Riserva 2019/2020 — Barolo’s ultimate icon, prized for rarity and ageing potential (according to Vinous)

These are not just wines. They are today’s most investment-relevant Italian releases.

Through G&R Member Club, our members gain direct access to private allocations, cellar strategy, and bespoke sourcing from the world’s most sought-after producers.

1990 - Tuscany bottled a legend 🍷

35 years later, Carpineto Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva still speaks with grace.

A benchmark vintage.
A wine shaped by time—layered, elegant, enduring.

Celebrated by international critics for its longevity and classic Tuscan soul, this is more than a bottle.

It’s a reminder: great wines don’t age.
They evolve.

1990,托斯卡纳封存了一段传奇🍷

35年后,Carpineto Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva 依然优雅动人。

伟大年份。
时间雕刻出的层次与深度。

被国际酒评界誉为经典陈年之作,
它早已不只是一瓶酒。

而是一段被岁月成就的故事。

Old vintages: passion, prestige… and risk. 🍷

Investing in mature wines can offer what few assets can: rarity, proven scarcity, and the value of time itself. But age alone does not create value.

Provenance. Storage. Authenticity. Market timing. One weak link can turn a great bottle into a costly mistake. That is why fine wine collecting is never just about buying old wine. It is about buying with confidence.

At GR, we backed every bottle with expertise, scrutiny, and trust, so our clients collect not only rare wines, but peace of mind. The best investment begins with the right partner.

老年份葡萄酒:是热爱,是价值,也是风险。🍷

投资老年份葡萄酒,拥有其他资产难以复制的魅力:稀缺性、历史价值,以及时间赋予的独特意义。但年份,并不等于价值。

来源是否清晰?
仓储是否专业?
真伪是否可靠?
市场时机是否合适?

任何一个环节出错,都可能让一瓶好酒变成昂贵的教训。真正专业的藏家,收藏的不只是老酒,而是“确定性”。

在 GR,每一瓶酒都经过严格甄选与专业把关,让您的每一次出手,都更值得信赖。最好的投资,始于正确的选择。

Before the auction, there is always a table🍷

In the lead-up to our Spring Auction, we hosted a series of pre-auction fine wine dinners in Hong Kong, bringing together collectors, rare bottles, and the stories behind them.

One of the highlights:“30 Years of the Most Iconic Tuscan Indigenous Riservas” at Da Domenico. From Le Pergole Torte Riserva 50° 2013 to Biondi-Santi Riserva 2006 & 1983, Montevertine Riserva 1987, and Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva 1990 - each wine offered a glimpse into the depth and longevity of Tuscany. Paired with a seasonal menu by Chef Alex, the evening was not just a tasting but a dialogue between wine, food, and time.

For our collectors, these moments are where the auction truly begins.

在拍卖开始之前,总有一张餐桌🍷

在春拍前夕,我们在香港举办了一系列拍卖前名庄酒晚宴,将藏家、名酒与它们背后的故事汇聚在同一时刻。

其中一场亮点晚宴:「30 Years of the Most Iconic Tuscan Indigenous Riservas」于 Da Domenico 呈现。从 Le Pergole Torte 50周年珍藏 2013 到 Biondi Santi Riserva 2006 / 1983 Montevertine Riserva 1987 以及 Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva 1990。这些酒,不只是年份的叠加,更是托斯卡纳时间与风土的缩影。搭配 Chef Alex 定制的季节菜单,这一夜,不只是品鉴,更是一场关于酒与料理的深度对话。

对真正的藏家来说,拍卖,其实从这里开始。
