Description
Luce della Vite 2021 Mathusalem 6 liters in wooden case
Luce della Vite 2021 in Mathusalem format of 6 liters is one of the most iconic expressions of Frescobaldi, a great Italian wine born in Montalcino from the meeting of Sangiovese and Merlot. Elegant, deep, and with a strong personality, it represents a benchmark Super Tuscan, capable of uniting structure, softness, and refinement in an important format, perfect for celebratory moments and collecting.
Territory and wine style
Produced in Montalcino, Luce della Vite 2021 comes from a historic project that made famous the idea of combining the expressive strength of Sangiovese with the roundness of Merlot. The result is a wine with a modern profile but deeply connected to the territory, where Tuscan identity meets an international, measured, and authoritative style. The 2021 vintage, marked by a complex but balanced climatic trend in the final phase, favored good maturation of the grapes and remarkable aromatic concentration.
Tasting notes
In the glass, it presents a very intense ruby red. The bouquet is rich and enveloping, with hints of blackberry, mulberry, and ripe black fruits, accompanied by nuances of violet and sweet spicy notes. On the palate, it shows great body, balance, and taste precision: the tannins are silky, the structure is full yet harmonious, and the finish is long, persistent, with finely spiced returns that enhance its drinkability.
Recommended pairings
Luce della Vite 2021 pairs easily with important and flavorful dishes of Italian cuisine. It is ideal with grilled red meats, braised dishes, game, filet, wild game, and structured roasts. It also expresses itself very well with rich first courses, such as pappardelle with meat ragù or elaborate baked pasta, as well as with aged cheeses and preparations with intense flavors. The 6-liter format particularly enhances large tables and festive occasions.
Serving temperature
To best appreciate Luce della Vite 2021, a serving temperature between 16 and 18 °C is recommended. Being a wine of great structure, it can benefit from an early opening, which helps to enhance the expression of the bouquet and the harmony of the sip.
Why buy it
Choosing Luce della Vite 2021 means bringing to the table a prestigious label from Frescobaldi, capable of combining oenological value, elegance, and strong visual impact. The Mathusalem format of 6 liters in a wooden case makes it an ideal proposal for collectors, special events, important gifts, and memorable dinners. It is a wine that unites territorial identity, contemporary style, and great capacity to evoke emotions over time.
