Hidden Tuscany Rating
A Tuscan IGT from Montalcino signed Luce, a Sangiovese-Merlot blend fermented in cement and aged 24 months, with aromas of red fruits and pomegranate. Reserve: no distinction mentioned and a high price of €132.68 for an IGT appellation.
IGT Toscana attached to Montalcino (Siena) and a Sangiovese-Merlot blend consistent with the area, but the IGT appellation remains less precise than a DOCG.
No award or guide is mentioned for this bottle; the reputation of the producer Luce is not attested by any distinction.
At €132.68 (crossed-out price €195.27) for an IGT Toscana without distinction, the price remains high for this tier, even if the displayed discount tempers it.
Three precise pairings (red meats, game, aged cheeses), red fruit and floral profile described, serving at 18-20 °C: easy to serve at table.
Luce estate located in Montalcino: fermentation in cement at 28 °C, 22-day maceration, malolactic in barrel, 24 months of aging, detailed practices.

Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine for a moment the golden light of Tuscany caressing the hills of Montalcino. This is where this wine comes from, a vibrant expression of its terroir, an invitation to a sensory journey in the heart of Italy.
This wine is the fruit of the Luce estate, nestled in the prestigious region of Montalcino, near Siena. Here, the generous sun and rich soils give rise to grapes of remarkable quality. It is a harmonious blend of Sangiovese, the king grape variety of Tuscany, and Merlot, bringing roundness and complexity.
At first glance, its color seduces you with its deep red. On the nose, you discover a delicate and intoxicating bouquet: notes of red fruits as bright as currant and pomegranate, interwoven with subtle floral aromas. On the palate, this wine reveals all its structure and elegance. Fermentation takes place in cement vats at 28°C, followed by 22 days of maceration, allowing optimal extraction of aromas and tannins. Malolactic fermentation takes place in barrels, before a patient aging of 24 months that refines its flavors and gives it beautiful complexity.
This Luce Toscana IGT is the ideal companion for your most refined meals. I warmly recommend it with grilled or sauced red meats, where its structure can fully express itself. It will also enhance game, bringing a touch of elegance to more intense flavors. Do not hesitate to pair it with aged cheeses, which will reveal the richness of its aromas. It is a wine that invites sharing, perfect for a special occasion or simply to treat yourself and escape for the duration of a tasting.
