I love the cabernet sauvignon aromas of crushed currants and ink, with fresh dark mushrooms and rose bush. Full-bodied, extremely linear and racy with very fine and intense tannins and a long, focused finish. Spearmint and blackberry at the end. Only 7,000 bottles made. Terrific red. Best after 2025.
Producer
Luce della Vite
This joint venture, between two of the leading figures in the wine world, Vittorio Frescobaldi and Robert Mondavi started in the early 1990s. The union was built out of their shared goal to offer the world a truly impassioned, unique wine from Montalcino – while encompassing both of their personal traditions. Following due course, twenty years ago, thanks to their sons and winemakers, Lamberto and Tim, their thrilling blend of Sangiovese and Merlot, Luce was born. Luce expresses with upmost quality, the power, innovation and concentration found at the backbone of this Montalcino winery. Tenuta Luce della Vite comprises of 192-hectares, with 77 devoted to vineyards. These plots producing their flagship, Luce, and more recently their second wine, Lucente. Five hectares of the vineyard are registered as Brunello di Montalcino DOCG and these are devoted to the creation of their territorial expressive Luce Brunello.
