Lux Vitis 2016 from 6 Liters Mathusalem

Lux Vitis 2016 Mathusalem 6 Liters: the great exclusive red from Frescobaldi

Lux Vitis 2016 in Mathusalem format of 6 liters is a prestigious cuvée signed by Frescobaldi, born in Montalcino from a vineyard of Cabernet Sauvignon with a small portion of Sangiovese. It is a rare wine, produced in limited quantities, designed for those seeking an important red, rich in personality and capable of combining power, elegance, and territorial identity.

Territory and style of the wine

Lux Vitis interprets Montalcino in an original key, through a vineyard planted in 2004 on sandy mixed soils. The combination of the character of Cabernet Sauvignon and the contribution of Sangiovese gives the wine a modern profile that is still coherent with the territory. The 2016 vintage favored healthy and ripe grapes, harvested at full aromatic expression. After fermentation in cement and a 24-month aging in new French oak barriques, the wine develops a deep, rich, and refined style, with great care for balance and complexity.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a very intense, almost impenetrable color, anticipating an important sip. The olfactory profile is broad and articulated, with notes of ripe red fruits, spices, and toasted nuances. On the palate, Lux Vitis 2016 expresses power and structure, but also finesse, thanks to a well-constructed balance between alcohol, acidity, and tannic texture. The finish is long, persistent, and harmonious, with a closure that leaves a rich and satisfying sensation.

Recommended pairings

A wine of this intensity pairs with great satisfaction with important red meats, braised dishes, game, grilled fillet, and structured preparations of Tuscan cuisine. Excellent also with aged cheeses and flavorful dishes based on mushrooms or truffles. Lux Vitis 2016 is ideal for an elegant dinner or to accompany tasting moments where the wine is the absolute protagonist.

Serving temperature

It is recommended to serve Lux Vitis 2016 at a temperature between 18 and 20°C. Given the structure and complexity of the wine, it may be useful to open it in advance or resort to a brief aeration, especially if tasted at a relatively young stage compared to its natural evolution.
