Luce Brunello Magnum 2021 1500ml

Luce, the essence of Tuscany Luce was born in the 1990s from the visionary partnership between Vittorio Frescobaldi and Robert Mondavi, uniting passion and expertise to craft an exceptional wine. Its name, a tribute to Tuscany’s radiant light, embodies the energy and harmony of its terroir. Nestled in the heart of Montalcino, Tenuta Luce spans 249 hectares, with 88 hectares of sun-drenched vineyards. Its ideal exposure, diverse soils, and constant breeze ensure the purity and balance of the fruit. Since 2005, Lamberto Frescobaldi has carried this legacy forward with unwavering dedication. In 2016, the estate unveiled a state-of-the-art underground winery, seamlessly integrated into the landscape, further elevating its pursuit of excellence. Luce Brunello is a tribute to the Montalcino terroir. Eleven of the estate’s 88 hectares lie within the Brunello di Montalcino DOCG appellation. The 2021 vintage The 2021 season began with a harsh winter and little rain, except for a light snowfall in early February. The beginning of spring saw a gradual increase in temperatures, which reached slightly above average values for the period in March, favoring the budding of Sangiovese in the middle of the month. On April 8, there was a considerable drop in temperatures, leading to widespread frosts throughout Tuscany. Fortunately, this did not cause any damage to the Madonnino vineyard, as it is located at an altitude of 400 m, but it did slow down vegetative growth. From June onwards, temperatures rose in conjunction with flowering, which began between the first and second weeks of the month. The summer months were hot and dry, and the vines developed slowly and gradually. During this period, in order to limit water loss through evaporation from the soil, we encouraged the creation of a protective layer in the rows by using green manure as natural mulch. Finally, September was splendid, with sunny days but milder temperatures during the day and cool nights, which favored optimal polyphenolic ripening, crisp tannins, and exceptional aromatic intensity. Tasting notes The color is bright ruby red. The nose is struck by juicy red plum fruit, supported by pleasant notes of fresh red berries intertwined with elegant tobacco. The palate is full, velvety, and extremely elegant, with a beautiful freshness that caresses the palate and accompanies it with notes of citrus and spices.
