Lux Vitis 2018 Toscana IGT: elegance and character from Montalcino

Lux Vitis 2018 Toscana IGT by Frescobaldi is an exclusive wine from Tenuta Luce that combines the international soul of Cabernet Sauvignon with the Tuscan tradition of Sangiovese. It originates from a vineyard planted in Montalcino in 2004 and represents a refined and limited interpretation of the territory, designed for those seeking an important, complex red with great personality.

Territory and style of the wine

This Tuscan red wine brings the voice of Montalcino into the glass, an area renowned for wines of structure and depth. The base of Cabernet Sauvignon, enriched by a small portion of Sangiovese, allows for a blend of intensity, balance, and territorial identity. The sandy mixed soils and careful vineyard interpretation contribute to defining an elegant, modern style that remains true to the character of Tuscany. The long aging in new French oak barrels for 24 months adds complexity and finesse, without sacrificing the power of the fruit.

The finish is long, persistent, and hints at a remarkable potential for evolution over time.
