Luce della Vite Lux Vitis 2023

Lux Vitis 2023 is a powerful yet polished Tuscan red from Tenuta Luce, blending Cabernet Sauvignon with Sangiovese from the Montalcino area. Aged for 24 months in new French oak, it brings together ripe red-fruit character, spice and firm structure; the Tenuta Luce project was founded by Frescobaldi in 1995.

Tasting Notes
Deeply coloured, the wine opens with aromas of red fruit, lively spice and delicate toasted notes. On the palate, concentrated fruit meets freshness, a dense tannin structure and measured oak, giving the wine both power and elegance. The finish is long and layered.

Production
Made at Tenuta Luce in the Montalcino area of Tuscany, Lux Vitis is produced from carefully tended vineyards where low yields help concentrate the fruit. The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented in temperature-controlled cement vats for 12 days, followed by 20 days of maceration on the skins. Malolactic fermentation takes place in wood, then the wine matures for 24 months in new French oak barrels. Its structure suggests strong ageing potential; the supplied description indicates it can continue to develop well beyond 2046.

Food & Serving
Serve at around 16–18°C with a little time to breathe. Decant for about one to two hours before serving to allow its aromas and structure to open. It should pair well with grilled or roasted red meat, braised dishes, game and aged hard cheeses.
