LUCE BRUNELLO 2018

The beginning of the year was marked by a mild January and a cold February with abundant precipitation, both snow and rain, which helped rebalance water supplies. During the course of spring, temperatures above the seasonal average were recorded, which coupled with frequent rainfall allowed for rapid shoot development. The prolonged presence of rainfall even during the flowering period that occurred in early June resulted in lower production load per plant. Thereafter, the summer experienced mild weather, without the presence of excessive rainfall or high temperatures. These conditions favored proper cluster development and led to rapid veraison, which occurred in the first week of August. During September, some rains continued to keep the weather mild, allowing the grapes to preserve all their aromatic freshness and reach full phenolic ripeness. The harvest took place on October 2.

TASTING NOTES

Luce Brunello has a deep ruby red color. The nose is complex and fragrant, with notes of ripe red fruit, supported by pleasant sensations of blond tobacco and exotic spices. In the mouth, the wine is harmonious, rich and beautifully structured, with silky tannins that together with freshness give a very long persistence. A sophisticated and powerful wine.
