Tenuta Luce Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2021 15% ABV 0.75l

The Tenuta Luce Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2021 15 % is a sophisticated Tuscan red wine from Montalcino, made exclusively from Sangiovese grapes. Of Tenuta Luce’s total vineyard area of 92 hectares, 11 hectares are registered for the production of Brunello di Montalcino. A significant proportion comes from the Sangiovese vines of the Madonnino vineyard, whose location at around 400 metres above sea level and whose Galestro-dominated soils create ideal conditions for structured and elegant wines. The grapes for the 2021 vintage were harvested on 24 September. Following careful selection, fermentation took place with natural yeasts in concrete tanks at 26 °C over ten days, followed by a maceration period of around four weeks.

The Luce Brunello 2021 then matured for at least 24 months in Slavonian oak barrels before being bottled in 0.75-litre bottles in July 2025. With 15 per cent alcohol, a total acidity of 6.85 g/l and a pH of 3.35, this vintage has the potential to develop further in the bottle. The warm and dry summer of 2021 was followed by a sunny September with cooler nights, enabling the Sangiovese grapes to achieve optimal phenolic ripeness. As a Brunello di Montalcino DOCG from Tuscany, this bottling combines Montalcino’s time-honoured winemaking traditions with the distinctive style of Tenuta Luce, and is particularly aimed at connoisseurs of age-worthy, classically styled Sangiovese wines.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the Tenuta Luce Brunello di Montalcino 2021 displays a brilliant ruby red colour. On the nose, juicy red plums and fresh red berries unfold, accompanied by elegant notes of tobacco. On the palate, the Brunello is full-bodied and velvety, yet elegant and underpinned by a remarkable freshness, complemented by subtle citrus and spicy nuances. The finish is balanced, complex and long-lasting.

The Luce Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2021 pairs particularly well with hearty meat dishes, game and mature cheeses. Recommended pairings include braised beef, rack of lamb, game ragout or pasta with a rich ragù; mature Pecorino also makes a suitable accompaniment. A serving temperature of around 16–18 °C brings out the balance between its structure and elegance, although this young Brunello benefits from a little aeration before drinking. Thanks to its structured character and long barrel ageing, it is ideal for festive meals, special occasions and further ageing.
