Tenuta Luce Lux Vitis 2021 3L Double Magnum

The 2021 vintage was characterised by a mild and dry winter, which led to slightly early
budding in the first week of April. The mild weather was interrupted by a significant drop in
temperatures around 8–9 April, which slowed the growth of the shoots but did not damage
the plants. The months of May and June were consistent and not too hot, allowing the plants
to return to optimal growth levels, ensuring excellent flowering and fruit set. The summer
period continued with slightly above average temperatures and no rain, leading to veraison
in the last week of July. These conditions were interrupted in the third week of August with
two heavy periods of rain that quenched the plants, rehydrated the soil, and helped to
trigger the ripening of the grapes. September was beautiful and sunny, with strong nighttime temperature variations that allowed for the perfect phenolic and aromatic ripening of
the grapes.

95 Points - James Suckling

A complex and restrained wine. The nose shows an elegant mix of leafy notes, cloves and subtle cassis, with graphite and licorice depth. Balanced attack with juicy acidity, firm ripe tannins and a full body. Great integration and length. Drink or hold.
