Territory and style of the wine

The Toscana IGT allows Lux Vitis to express an original interpretation of the terroir, through a profile that combines the imprint of Cabernet Sauvignon with the finesse brought by Sangiovese. The aging of 24 months in new French oak barriques adds complexity and a sense of great oenological care, maintaining balance and elegance at its core.
