Luce 750ml Tenuta Luce 2022
Climatic trend<br />A cold, dry winter ushered in the 2022 growing year. Vine development was accompanied by a spring that delivered very little rain, then temperatures rose rapidly starting<br />in May. Flowering took place in the final week of May and early June, under ideal conditions. Dry, warm weather continued through much of the summer, conditions that<br />enabled the vines to achieve optimal equilibrium and to arrive with a perfect canopy-crop balance at veraison, in early August. Two periods of heavy rainfall, each of 30mm,<br />arrived between late July and 16 August, bringing relief to the vines and starting the final phase of ripening. Harvest began on 28 August, slightly early to preserve the<br />grapes' crisp acidities and generous aromatic precursors. The clusters were small in size but perfectly ripe, sound, and healthy. September brought optimal conditions,<br />and temperatures cooled mid-month on, bringing significant day-night temperatures ranges, which encouraged peak ripeness in the Sangiovese.<br /><br />Tasting notes<br />Luce 2022 appears a shimmering ruby red. The nose is redolent of crisp, red berryfruit, such as recurrent and pomegranate, infused with delicate floral essences. The<br />entry is immediately enfolding on the palate, where ripe, supple tannins perfectly complement a crisp, vibrant mid-palate, continuing through to a full-flavoured, near-<br />endless finish.<br /><br />Grapes<br />Merlot, Sangiovese<br />Harvest period<br />Merlot: August 28, Sangiovese: September 10<br />Sugar at harvest<br />Merlot: 260 g/l, Sangiovese: 255 g/l<br />Total acidity at harvest<br />Merlot: 6,75 g/l, Sangiovese: 6,88 g/l<br />pH at harvest<br />Merlot: 3.33, Sangiovese: 3.30<br />Fermentation vessels<br />Concrete<br />FERMENTATION TEMPERATURE<br />28°C<br />FERMENTATION LENGHT<br />12 days<br />maceration on the skins<br />22 days<br />MALOLACTIC FERMENTATION<br />Barriques<br />MATURATION VESSELS<br />Barriques: 80% new, 20% once-used<br />MATURATION LENGHT<br />24 months<br />bottling<br />November 2024<br />

Luce 750ml Tenuta Luce 2019
LUCE 2019<br /><br />The 2019 vintage was late and balanced. After a cold and sunny winter, the spring was characterised by low average temperatures and high rainfall, which allowed the<br />creation of important water reserves in the soil. This situation of low light and rainfall, mainly concentrated in the month of May, resulted in a slight delay of 10 days in the<br />vine's vegetative cycle. Flowering was evenly completed in the first week of June. The season then continued with a hot summer, without any particular heat peaks, with<br />some rainfall between the end of July and the beginning of August, which ensured a vigorous and efficient leaf apparatus. The mild temperatures in September and a good<br />level of hydration of the soils favoured a slow and regular ripening of the grapes, resulting in perfectly ripe tannins with high aromatic intensity and freshness. The harvest<br />began in sunny weather on 12 September with the first Merlot grapes, and continued with the Sangiovese in late September and early October. The wines are structured,<br />showing balance, power and great ageing potential.<br /><br />Tasting Notes: Luce 2019 shows an intense ruby red colour. The nose impresses with floral hints of violets and roses, accompanied by red fruits of raspberries and sweet<br />spices. In the mouth it is balanced and elegant, with an almost creamy texture, supported by silky, well-integrated tannins. The persistent finish lingers on spicy notes.<br /><br />Grapes: Merlot, Sangiovese<br /><br />Analytical Data:<br />Alcohol: 14.40% Vol.<br />Total acidity: 6.03 g/l<br />PH: 3,49<br />

GIOVANNI NERI<br />BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO DOCG<br /><br />Giovanni Neri's Brunello di Montalcino embodies tradition, production philosophy, the values of sustainability and typicality of the territory, experience and passion in the<br />vineyard and cellar. Fifty years after the purchase of the first vineyard, Giacomo, Giovanni and Gianlorenzo dedicate to the founder of Casanova di Neri a wine that is a<br />great expression of pure Sangiovese born mainly from a vineyard that boasts a marvellous exposure, splendid vines more than half a century old and exceptional soil.<br />Giovanni Neri creates another great scenario that once again combines the importance of tradition with our continuous quest for innovation.<br /><br /><br />NOTES OF GIOVANNI NERI<br /><br />It presents itself to the eye with a bright, brilliant red colour. Cherry aromas emerge on the nose. White flowers and blood orange emerge with a little airiness. The palate is<br />well balanced, creamy and releases the purity of red fruits. The finish is savoury and of great purity. The greatness of the 2019 vintage can be glimpsed but will be best<br />expressed after a few years of bottle ageing.<br /><br />VINTAGE NOTES<br />The winter was characterised by mild temperatures with average rainfall compared to previous years. A stable and sunny March and April were followed by an unusual May<br />with very low temperatures and abundant rainfall. All these factors contributed to delaying flowering and fruit set by a few days. June and July were warm and dry with high<br />peaks that allowed the initial vegetative delay to be recovered. Abundant spring water reserves and a warm and stable August allowed the grapes to ripen regularly.<br /><br /><br />AGEING PERIOD 30 months in casks - 22 months in bottles<br />ALCOHOL CONTENT 15%.<br />DRY EXTRACT (g/lt) 31.5<br />TOTAL ACIDITY 5.8<br />SERVING TEMPERATURE (°C) 16-17°<br />
