Gianfranco Soldera's winery Case Basse in Montalcino was sabotaged today, about 60000 litres of wine were dumped from his barrels and tanks, effectively destroying the 5 last vintages. Described as vandalism, but to me it sounds like a premeditated act rather than a random act of madness.

I'd find this story sad even if a modernista, but to me Soldera/Case basse is THE greatest BdM producer, so this is truly awful/
