Luce Brunello di Montalcino Docg 2018 75 cl Tenuta Luce della Vite

FRE LUCE BRU18

Luce Brunello is our tribute to Montalcino, to the land where, in the second half of the 19th Century, Brunello was born. It was the first wine in Italy to achieve the Denominazione d’Origine Controllata e Garantita, back in 1980.

Of the 88 hectares of vineyards at Tenuta Luce, 11 are registered in the Albo del Brunello di Montalcino. This is where the grapes destined for Luce Brunello are born: in line with the excellence of a territory that has an undoubtable vocation for wine production, it is our personal interpretation of the famous Brunello di Montalcino, without foregoing the originality that has always characterised our wines.

Vintage 2014: The 2015 vintage at Tenuta Luce will be a year to remember for the great quality and health of the grapes. Weather conditions were characterized by a crisp and rainy spring that provided the grapevines with the right stimuli and to develop significant water reserves in the subsoil, which is key to heat-related stresses to the vinest during the dry and sunny summer months.

Subsequently, the excellent temperature ranges in September contributed to the perfect phenolic ripening of the grapes. The aromatic ripening benefited from the cool days preceding the harvest thus allowing us to obtain healthy, intact grapes with small and sparse bunches, which are ideal for the production of an excellent Brunello Luce 2015.

The wine displays an intense ruby red color with pervasive aromatic notes of ripe black fruits and liquorice, followed by hints of tobacco and truffle. In the mouth, it seduces with its softness and freshness, revealing a refined structure built from velvety tannins. The finish is extraordinarily persistent and elegant.
