Luce is the first wine produced from a blend of Sangiovese and Merlot in Montalcino. A perfect harmony between the structure and elegance of Sangiovese and the roundness and softness of Merlot. Luce is the iconic estate wine, capable of expressing, vintage after vintage, our original interpretation of these lands. Luce 2019 has an intense ruby red color. The nose is striking with its floral hints of violet and rose accompanied by red fruits such as raspberries and sweet spices. The wine is balanced and elegant in the mouth, with an almost creamy texture supported by silky and well-integrated tannins. Spicy notes accompany the persistent finish.

Sophisticated aromas of lead pencil, graphite and blackcurrant. Hints of black olives and herbs, too. Full-bodied, yet tight and deep, with super precision and intensity to the tannins. Incredible balance of structure and finesse to this. Give it time in the cellar. Better after 2027.
