Tenute Luce della Vite 25th Anniversary 2017
Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, ItalyA special bottle was created to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Luce. It sports an inscription by Vittorio Frescobaldi, one of the label's founders, that reads, "Here lies the memory of the vineyard and work, of the earth, the sun, the sound of time and the song of the seasons." It is a huge wine in 2017, still sitting very much within itself. The nose is a savoury, earthy, tobacco affair with ripe red berries poking through a warm, spicy, angular palate full of cassis, olives, and bitter walnut undertones. It is going to require some time in the bottle to settle down and hopefully emerge from the unusual tannin and ruggedly youthful nature. Time will tell. A Super Tuscan blend almost evenly split between merlot and sangiovese, with high potential.Tasted: 17 November 2020Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $119.99 | 750ml | select private retailers |
