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 />
