LUCE BRUNELLO 2018 The beginning of the year was characterized by a mild January and a cold February with abundant precipitation, both snow and rain, which favored the rebalancing of water reserves. During the spring, temperatures were above the seasonal average, which, combined with frequent rainfall, allowed for rapid development of the buds. The prolonged presence of rain, even during the flowering period, which took place in early June, resulted in a lower yield per plant. Subsequently, the summer was characterized by mild weather, without excessive rainfall or high temperatures. These conditions favored proper development of the bunches and led to rapid veraison, which occurred in the first week of August. During the month of September, some rainfall continued to maintain the mild climate, thus allowing the grapes to preserve all their aromatic freshness and reach full phenolic ripeness. The harvest took place on October 2nd. TASTING NOTES Luce Brunello displays an intense ruby ​​red color. The nose is complex and fragrant, with notes of ripe red fruit, supported by pleasant sensations of blond tobacco and exotic spices. On the palate, the wine is harmonious, rich, and well-structured, with silky tannins that, combined with its freshness, provide a very long finish.
