2016 Tenuta Luce, Luce della Vite - Tuscany IGT - 1 Bottle (0.75L)

Tenuta Luce Toscana IGT 2016 – Grande Super Tuscan of Montalcino, Exceptional Vintage and International Recognitions

"True connoisseurs don’t drink wine, they taste secrets." Salvador Dalì

A wine of absolute prestige, among the most iconic expressions of the great Tuscan enology. Luce 2016 from Tenuta Luce, a project born from the meeting of the Frescobaldi and Mondavi families, represents one of the most fascinating interpretations of the Super Tuscan concept: an international label that combines territorial identity, stylistic research and extraordinary qualitative ambition.

The 2016 vintage is considered one of the great years for Tuscany, characterized by favorable climatic conditions and unusually balanced ripening of the grapes. The result is a wine of great concentration, structure and elegance, with significant aging potential.

The blend, 50% Sangiovese and 50% Merlot, unites the personality and freshness of the flagship grape of Montalcino with the softness and richness of Merlot. The 24 months of barrel aging contribute to the wine’s complexity and harmony of the profile.

International critics have also recognized the extraordinary value of this harvest:

- James Suckling: 96/100
- Wine Spectator: 94/100
- Wine Enthusiast: 90/100

A particularly meaningful judgment is that of James Suckling, who appreciated its aromatic depth, freshness and tannic structure. Wine Spectator highlighted its breadth, fruity component and the elegant chocolate and coffee nuances.

On the nose emerge ripe cherry, plum, dark fruits and delicate spicy notes of vanilla, ginger and cinnamon. The palate is full and enveloping, supported by elegant tannins and a freshness that accompanies a long and persistent finish.

Luce 2016 is a bottle of great interest for Super Tuscan enthusiasts and for those who wish to preserve one of the most successful vintages of the estate. A wine of importance, with international prestige, ideal both for a high-level tasting and to enrich a collection of great Italian labels.
