Tenuta Luce della Vite 2006
Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, ItalyAt 350 to 420 metres the Luce estate is among Montalcino 's highest. The sangiovese likes the heights while the merlot is better placed in the clays at the lowest elevations. The 06 blend is 55/45 mix producing a low 30 hl/ha. Look for spicy, black berry, black cherry, peppery, savoury, garrigue notes on the nose, combined with a warm, supple plate with some grainy tannin. Good concentration with chocolate, tobacco, meaty, peppery, black berry, savoury, resin, liquorice and black plum jam flavours. Big, warm, young, slightly oaky and rustic finish with a ton of fruit. Probably needs 5-7 years to fully mature.Tasted: 03 November 2009Tasted by: Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $93.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
