Tenuta Luce Brunello di Montalcino 2018 1.5L Magnum

Tenuta Luce Brunello di Montalcino 2018 is an exceptionally refined, elegant, and complex Italian red wine produced in the southern hills of Montalcino. Crafted entirely from 100% Sangiovese grown on schist-rich galestro soils, it undergoes 36 months of barrel aging before release. In the glass, it presents an intense ruby-red color with vibrant garnet reflections. The nose is rich and fragrant, opening with aromas of ripe red cherry, wild blackberry, blue violet, and dried rose petals, seamlessly balanced by accents of blond tobacco, licorice, graphite, and exotic baking spice. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied, structured, and beautifully focused, featuring layer upon layer of dark fruit supported by ultra-fine, silky tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, savory, mineral-driven finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with Florentine T-bone steak, braised wild boar ragù, roasted rack of lamb, truffled beef tenderloin, and aged Tuscan pecorino cheese.
