The ancient vineyard in Brunello di Montalcino truly has everything it takes to excel. Its perfect location, with its sunny exposure, cool winds blowing across the hills, and refreshing nighttime temperatures, is essential for the grapes to mature and the growing season to proceed smoothly. The Sangiovese grapes receive a truly royal upbringing, harvested entirely by hand at ideal ripeness and transported to the winery in small crates. This Brunello di Montalcino is aged for a full 24 months in Slovenian oak barrels in the cellars of Tenuta Luce. Lamberto Frescobaldi has been fully responsible for this project since 2002. In the vineyards of Brunello di Montalcino, he continues to write the story of Luce, a Super Tuscan wine appreciated worldwide.
The color is deep and intense with light garnet hues. Luce Brunello offers a complex bouquet on the nose, rich with notes ranging from small black fruit and spices to tobacco and tea leaves. The palate confirms the same aromatic complexity, with a beautifully soft and refined start that gives this red wine its wonderful balance. Excellent tannin texture lends it considerable complexity and flavor nuances such as balsamic, cherry, and rich herbs. What a full-bodied wine with so many impressions! Enjoy and let it all wash over you with this red Brunello di Montalcino.
