Luce 750ml Tenuta Luce 2020

LUCE 2020

The months of January and February were particularly mild and dry. This condition led to an early budding of the vines from the second week of March for the Sangiovese
and from the third week for the Merlot. Spring then saw warm weather with rainfall mainly in May, favouring an excellent flowering that took place slightly early around the
last week of the month, followed by a rapid fruit set. The first three weeks of June were marked by rainfall, which helped prepare the plants for the summer season, which
was hot and with little rain. In the last week of August, two very important rains brought relief to the plants and lowered the temperatures, creating the ideal conditions for the
grapes to ripen. Harvesting began on 3 September with the Merlot. The grapes were in excellent health and ripeness, with great aromatic potential, due in part to the
temperature swings between night and day that occurred in the days leading up to the harvest. While the Sangiovese harvest began on 16 September and continued until
the end of the month.

TASTING NOTES Intense ruby red in colour, Luce 2020 stands out on the nose for its complexity and elegance, characterised by ripe black fruit, particularly blackberry and
mulberry, to which hints of cocoa and sweet spices are added. On the palate, it is harmonious, lively, with excellent structure, balanced by vibrant acidity and soft, silky
tannins that lend an elegant finish with great persistence.
