Luce Della Vite Toscana Igt 2019 Astucciata Winery Luce Frescobaldi

Luce della Vite Toscana IGT 2019 Astucciata Tenuta Luce Frescobaldi

The 2019 vintage of Luce della Vite Toscana IGT represents a harmonious combination of tradition and innovation, produced by the prestigious Tenuta Luce Frescobaldi. This wine is the fruit of a late and balanced vintage which saw a cold and sunny winter followed by a spring with low average temperatures and high rainfall, creating important water reserves in the soil. These conditions caused a slight 10-day delay in the vine's vegetative cycle, but allowed homogeneous flowering at the beginning of June. The summer was hot, but without excesses, with rainfall that kept the foliage vigorous and efficient. September brought mild temperatures and good hydration of the soil, favoring a slow and regular ripening of the grapes, with perfectly ripe tannins and a high aromatic intensity.

Product Features

The Luce 2019 has an intense ruby ​​red color. On the nose, it fascinates with floral hints of violet and rose, accompanied by red fruits such as raspberries and delicate sweet spices. In the mouth, the wine stands out for its balance and elegance, with an almost creamy texture supported by silky and well-integrated tannins. The persistent finish continues on spicy notes, giving a long and pleasant sensation.
