Territory and wine style

This Brunello di Montalcino is born in the heart of Tuscany, in one of the most famous denominations in Italy for Sangiovese. The style recalls the classicism of the Montalcino territory, where the grape variety finds balance between phenolic maturity, acid tension, and aromatic finesse. The 2016 vintage favored healthy and concentrated grapes, thanks to balanced seasonal conditions and strong temperature fluctuations at the end of the season. The result is a wine of great definition, with an elegant profile and a solid yet never heavy taste texture.

On the palate, the Brunello di Montalcino 2016 Luce Magnum shows compactness, creaminess, and a taste structure well supported by brilliant acidity.

Recommended pairings

This Brunello pairs naturally with flavorful and richly structured dishes, such as braised meats, game, important roasts, Florentine steak, oven-roasted lamb, and preparations with mushrooms or truffles.
