Luce
There is a savoury austerity to this wine, and clear floral aromatics alongside the underbrush, cranberry and crushed raspberry fruits, loaded with orange peel and liqourice. A beautiful expression of Brunello, with high herbal notes, Three years ageing in Stockinger casks (not barrels), then concrete vats for one year, then bottle for one more year before releas. Alessandro Marini director and winemaker. Great history also - when Tenuta Luce was first founded, the joint venture of Mondavi-Frescobaldi decided not to make a Brunello within the Luce range to avoid competition with Castelgiacondo, but when joint venture fiinished in 2004, Laberto Frescobaldi immediately used the single vineyard of Sangiovese owned by Luce to make a Brunello from 2003 vintage. The plot is located in the higher part of the vineyard, at the highest elevation of 450m, where in winter they occasionally see snowfall. This vintage was first released March 2026.
