A 100% Sangiovese Brunello di Montalcino from Tenuta Luce in southern Tuscany, macerated for around four weeks and aged in large Slavonian oak barrels for at least 24 months. Expect a contemporary, richly styled expression with dried black cherry, kirsch, blood orange and floral notes, firm structure, and bright acidity.

Why it tastes this way

This bottling is distinct from the estate's flagship 'Luce' wine, which is a 50/50 Merlot-Sangiovese blend; the Brunello di Montalcino is a varietal Sangiovese expression that showcases the same Montalcino fruit in its purest DOCG-mandated form, and has drawn strong critic scores across multiple vintages.

Signature pairings

Bistecca alla Fiorentina
Classic Tuscan pairing: the wine's firm tannin and bright acidity cut through the char and fat of grilled T-bone steak.
Wild boar ragu with pappardelle (pappardelle al cinghiale)
The wine's dried cherry and earthy, savory notes complement the gamey richness and slow-cooked depth of wild boar ragu.
Aged Pecorino Toscano with honey
The wine's acidity and red-fruit profile balance the salty, nutty intensity of aged pecorino, while its structure stands up to the cheese's density.

About this bottle

Product information compiled from producer, importer and reference sources.

Luce Della Vite Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2020 is a single-varietal expression of Sangiovese from one of Tuscany's most prestigious appellations. This wine showcases the classic profile of Brunello: ripe red cherry and plum on the nose, layered with earthy minerality and dried herb complexity.

The palate is structured and elegant, with medium-high tannins and acidity that frame the fruit and suggest considerable aging potential. Secondary oak and tertiary leather and tobacco notes add depth and sophistication, making this a wine suited to serious food pairing and contemplative cellaring.
