The freshness and the floral aromas with citrus fruit and berries are startling for a 217. The palate is full and extremely refined with elegant tannins and vivid fruit and orange-peel undertones. Racy and bright at the finish. Drink or hold.
The Frescobaldi technicians use Sangiovese grapes, mainly from the "Madonnino" vineyard, to produce this fine Brunello di Montalcino DOCG. A tribute that the historic wine family pays to the land of Montalcino and its oenological tradition. Of the 88 hectares of vines owned by the Tenuta, only 11 are registered in the Brunello di Montalcino register. An ideal area in terms of exposure and soil composition that allows us to obtain wines that are perfectly balanced between structure and elegance, with a style that is both powerful and captivating. During the harvest, the ripe fruit arrives in the winery from each individual parcel, respecting the integrity of the fruit as much as possible. The selected grapes are then fermented with indigenous yeasts and soft-pressed. The key part of the process, however, only comes at that point. After vinification comes the waiting time. The years of maturation pass slowly, while the wine rests in Slavonian oak barrels and evolves in its temperament. Knowing how to wait, after all, is an art. The 2017 vintage was the result of a mild and relatively dry winter, which favoured an early bud break. Then, between May and August, the low rainfall and intense heat limited the vegetative development of the plants and reduced the size of the bunches. The rains at the beginning of September, on the other hand, gave some relief to the plants in their last stage of ripening, allowing an early harvest of about 10 days, with small bunches and a high concentration of polyphenols and tannins. Luce Brunello 2017 in the glass is characterised by a beautiful, compact and brilliant ruby red colour. The nose is concentrated, with notes of red fruits, mainly cherry, ripe blood orange and spices. In the mouth, however, is rich and enveloping, with a beautiful tension that allows you to enhance the tannins perfectly integrated. The finish, then, fascinates with its great sapidity and long persistence. Luce 2017 is a wine of extraordinary integrity, with great ageing potential.
