Luce Lux Vitis 2020

Produced in Italy, Luce Lux Vitis 2020 originates from the Montalcino region within the Toscana IGT appellation. The wine is crafted by Tenuta Luce, a renowned estate southwest of Montalcino founded as an ambitious project in the early 1990s by the Vittorio Frescobaldi and Robert Mondavi families, now under the full direction of the Marchesi Frescobaldi group. The winemaking philosophy focuses on capturing a unique individual style from the estate's pristine, biodiverse environment, utilizing a small three hectare parcel of Cabernet Sauvignon planted in 2004 on mixed sandy soils to deliver an exclusive, terroir driven wine.

Wine Description

This vintage presents an intense and impenetrable ruby red colour. The bouquet is stylishly refined and multi-layered, releasing prominent aromas of redcurrant, well ripened black fruit, and sweet violets, lifted by delicate undertones of cocoa powder. On the palate, the wine is full bodied yet velvet smooth on entry, supported beautifully by a refreshing acidity and elegant, enfolding tannins. The finish is remarkably long and persistent, leaving pungent impressions of roasted espresso bean and wild herbs. Composed primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon with a small amount of Sangiovese added to enhance its character, the wine was matured for 24 months in 100% new French oak barriques. It has a prolonged cellaring potential extending beyond 2038.
