Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Luce

The Brunello di Montalcino Luce di Tenuta Luce della Vite comes from the only 5 hectares of the total 7 that the company has registered in the Brunello di Montalcino association. It is therefore a 100% Sangiovese, harvested when fully ripened during the first week of October. After the hand-harvest, the grapes are brought to the winery for de-stemming and pressing. The bunches are brought to temperature controlled steel tanks for the alcoholic fermentation and the maceration that lasts around 4 weeks after the harvest. After this stage the wine is separated from the skins and the 90% is left to age in second-passage barrels and 10% in new barrels for 36 months. Afterwards they are blended and bottled.
