After a period of aging in barrique, Luce continues its path of excellence, inspired by the singularity of the territory of origin. Fermentation takes place in concrete tanks with maceration on the skins which lasts 4 weeks. The wine is subsequently refined in oak barrels from Slavonia for a total of 24 months.
It has a very bright ruby red color. On the nose it manifests itself with a concentration of aromas, among which the notes of red fruits stand out, especially morello cherry, ripe blood orange and spices. In the mouth it is rich and enveloping, with a pleasant tension that enhances the perfectly integrated tannic texture. The finish is fascinating for its marked flavor and prolonged persistence.
Ideal to be enjoyed throughout the entire meal, it pairs well with stews, long-cooked meat dishes and mature cheeses.
