Luce della Vite Toscana IGT 2019 Wooden Box Tenuta Luce Frescobaldi

The Luce della Vite Toscana IGT 2019 from the Tenuta Luce Frescobaldi is an oenological masterpiece that embodies the harmony between tradition and innovation. The 2019 vintage was particularly late and balanced, starting with a cold and sunny winter followed by a spring characterized by low average temperatures and high rainfall, which created essential water reserves in the soil. This situation caused a slight delay of 10 days in the vegetative cycle of the vine, but allowed homogeneous flowering in the first week of June.

The hot summer, without extreme heat peaks, together with well-distributed rainfall between the end of July and the beginning of August, kept the foliage system vigorous and efficient. September brought mild temperatures and a good level of hydration of the soil, favoring a slow and regular ripening of the grapes. This allowed us to obtain perfectly ripe tannins, with high intensity and aromatic freshness. The harvest began on September 12th with the first Merlots and ended with the Sangiovese between the end of September and the beginning of October.

Product Features

The Luce 2019 has an intense ruby ​​red color. On the nose, it is striking with its floral hints of violet and rose, accompanied by red fruits such as raspberries and sweet spices. On the palate, the wine is balanced and elegant, with an almost creamy texture supported by silky and well-integrated tannins. The finish is persistent, with spicy notes that linger pleasantly.

Winification and Refinement

The grapes used are Merlot and Sangiovese, with maceration times on the skins of 22 days. The fermentation, which lasts 12 days, takes place in concrete tanks at a controlled temperature of 28°C. Malolactic fermentation and aging take place in barriques, of which 80% are new and 20% are one year old, for a total of 24 months. Bottling took place in December 2021.
