Luce Brunello di Montalcino from Tenuta Luce — deep and intense with light garnet hues, a complex bouquet of small black fruits, spices, tobacco, and tea leaves, confirming the same aromatic complexity on the palate, from a joint venture between the Frescobaldi family and Robert Mondavi that produced one of Montalcino's most celebrated estates.
Tasting Notes
Deep and intense colour with light garnet hues. A complex bouquet of small black fruits, spices, tobacco, and tea leaves on the nose. The palate confirms the same aromatic complexity — structured, layered, and age-worthy. Luce Brunello is produced from 100% Sangiovese (Brunello clone) on the Tenuta Luce estate, aged in large Slavonian oak casks per Brunello DOCG regulations.
