The wine

Of an intense ruby red color, complex aromatic notes of ripe black fruits, licorice, followed by hints of tobacco and truffle. In the mouth it seduces for its softness and freshness, unfolding a refined structure, built from velvety tannins. The finish is completed with an extraordinary persistence and elegance.

Drinking and storing

Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker, Suckling, and Jancis Robinson

From the Frescobaldi family of Florence, the Luce della Vite (or Tenuta Luce) 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Luce is a wine of depth and intensity. This 2016 vintage goes further and offers more substance than most of the recent vintages we've seen. It reveals a dark color and appearance with cocktail cherry, balsam spice and a touch of white chocolate. The tannins are dry, but the wine compensates with a good dose of that concentrated fruit richness that defines this classic vintage. This is a 30,000-bottle release.

— Monica Larner (30/11/2020)Robert Parker Wine Advocate Vintage 2016 - 94 PARKER

Ripe, decadent aromas of blackberries, black truffles and black cherries with hints of violets. Dark, wet earth, too. Full-bodied with a solid core of beautiful, pure fruit and creamy, round and fine tannins. Tight and reserved, but showing wonderful potential. Try after 2025.

— James Suckling (21/12/2020)JamesSuckling.com Vintage 2016 - 98 SUCKLING

Deep, lustrous ruby. Taut nose with rich cherry fruit underneath and a complex oak note. Full, yet sleek on the palate with lots of grainy tannins kept beautifully in check by the generous succulent cherry fruit. Ends full, concentrated and a little vibrant. The enormous alcohol of this wine simply goes unnoticed, until you look at the label.
