This is Luce’s Sangiovese Brunello, distinct from the estate’s Merlot-blended Luce. The producer describes the 2015 through dark fruit and licorice, with fresh balance and finely textured tannins. Its rich but measured shape makes it a useful choice for someone seeking Brunello with a rounded, polished feel.

The producer
Tenuta Luce makes two distinct Montalcino reds: Luce blends Merlot and Sangiovese, while its Brunello is Sangiovese alone. Brunello comes principally from the Madonnino vineyard, whose stony galestro soils and position within the estate give this bottling its own identity.
