Luce della Vite Brunello di Montalcino Luce 2019

Luce della Vite Brunello di Montalcino Luce 2019. LUCE BRUNELLO Of the 88 hectares of vineyards owned by Luce della Vite, 11 are registered in the Brunello di Montalcino register. It is here that the Sangiovese is grown for Luce Brunello, our homage to this noble wine, which was born in Montalcino in the second half of the 19th century. It was the first in Italy to receive, in 1980, the Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita, and is today one of the most representative of the great wines produced in Italy. Luce Brunello di Montalcino thus continues a path of the highest quality, inspired by the uniqueness of the terroir and the great wines born here.
