Lux Vitis 2018 – Tenuta Luce, Frescobaldi Lux Vitis is a focused and limited-production wine from Tenuta Luce, created to explore a different side of the estate through Cabernet Sauvignon. While the Frescobaldi family is deeply associated with Tuscan tradition, Lux Vitis represents a more experimental project, highlighting the potential of international varieties grown in the Montalcino area. The 2018 vintage was characterized by good balance and freshness, allowing for a precise and well-measured expression of Cabernet Sauvignon. In the glass, Lux Vitis 2018 offers aromas of blackcurrant, dark cherry, graphite, and subtle herbal notes, with restrained oak influence. The palate is structured but not heavy, with fine tannins, good tension, and a clean, persistent finish. Compared to riper or more powerful vintages, 2018 stands out for its clarity and drinkability. Lux Vitis 2018 is already approachable with some aeration, while still having the structure to evolve over time. It is a refined, modern Tuscan red that emphasizes balance and precision rather than sheer power, and fits well within the Tenuta Luce philosophy.
