Terroir Box Luce & Lucente with 1 x 0.75 L Luce 2016 + Lucente 2017 each

Two wines, one terroir: The Terroir Box combines Luce 2016 and Lucente 2017, both from Montalcino in Tuscany. You receive them in a black gift box with gold printing, which identifies itself as a special edition.

Luce della Vite relies on a combination in Montalcino that is unusual there: Sangiovese meets Merlot. Luce comes from the best plots, Lucente from younger vines. The difference between both sites and vintages can be understood directly side-by-side in the glass. The Luce sun, inspired by Brunelleschi's drawings for Santo Spirito in Florence, is emblazoned on the front of the box.

Both wines are dry. The Merlot portions give the Sangiovese roundness, while its freshness is preserved. Try both one after the other and pay attention to how the structure and depth of the two wines differ.

Decant the wines and serve them at 16 °C. They go with game, truffle dishes, braised roasts, and piquant cheese. The box is suitable as a gift for people who appreciate Tuscan red wines, or for an evening when you want to compare both wines directly.

The Winery

Luce della Vite

Tenuta Luce della Vite – Tuscan high-altitude art. Southwest of Montalcino, the estate extends over 192 hectares, 55 of which are vineyards. 350 to 420 meters above sea level – one of the highest locations in the area.

Sangiovese grows on Galestro soil, while Merlot thrives in deeper, clay- and sand-rich sites. Long, hot summers, southern exposure, slow ripening – this results in concentrated, powerful wines.

Low yields (approx. 30 hl per hectare). Thinning, defoliation – everything to strengthen the character of the grape varieties and capture the essence of the terroir. Montalcino in its purest form.
