Brunello di Montalcino 2015 | Vintage | Tenuta Luce

Our homage to the land of Montalcino and its winemaking tradition.

OUR BRUNELLO
Of the 88 hectares of vineyards owned by Tenuta Luce, 11 are registered in the Brunello di Montalcino register.

Sangiovese is born here for Luce Brunello, our tribute to this sublime wine born in Montalcino in the second half of the nineteenth century. He was the first in Italy to win, in 1980, the recognition of the Controlled and Guaranteed Designation of Origin and today it is one of the most representative of the excellent wines made in Italy.

Luce Brunello di Montalcino thus continues a path of the highest quality inspired by the uniqueness of the territory of origin and the great wines that are born here.

The 2015 vintage at Tenuta Luce will be a year to remember for the great quality and health of the grapes. Weather conditions were characterized by a crisp and rainy spring that provided the grapevines with the right stimuli and to develop significant water reserves in the subsoil, which is key to heat-related stresses to the vinest during the dry and sunny summer months.

Subsequently, the excellent temperature ranges in September contributed to the perfect phenolic ripening of the grapes. The aromatic ripening benefited from the cool days preceding the harvest thus allowing us to obtain healthy, intact grapes with small and sparse

bunches, which are ideal for the production of an excellent Brunello Luce 2015. The wine displays an intense ruby red color with pervasive aromatic notes of ripe black fruits and liquorice, followed by hints of tobacco and truffle. In the mouth, it seduces with its softness and freshness, revealing a refined structure built from velvety tannins. The finish is extraordinarily persistent and elegant.
