Luce Brunello di Montalcino Docg 2014 75 cl Tenuta Luce della Vite

FRE LUCE BRU14

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: Weather conditions in 2014 were characterised by a sunny spring season with pleasant temperatures. Summer was cool with a few beneficial rain showers that helped the grapevines reach the ripening phase in excellent condition. The period immediately prior to the harvest (in the second half of September) was perfect: no rain, plenty of sun and significant night/ day temperature variations, all of which helped produce fantastic grapes for an excellent Brunello. Ruby red colour with purple highlights, this Brunello welcomes us with notes of kirsch and spices and initial complex and balsamic nuances. In the mouth, the wine shows its power and substance free, however, from any excesses. Soft and well-rounded it also surprises with a crispness supported by minty highlights.
