Brunello di Montalcino 2021
Brunello DI Montacino DOCG
VINTAGE
The 2021 Montalcino vintage saw a mild, wet winter followed by a cold, rainy spring that delayed budbreak. A hot, dry summer caused drought stress, but late-season rains and cooler nights in August and September balanced ripening. Harvest began in mid-to-late September, with lower yields but high-quality fruit. The wines are expected to be structured, age-worthy, and balanced, with fresh acidity, ripe tannins, and elegance. A vintage of concentration, freshness, and longevity.

Reviews
James Suckling - December 15, 2025 "Sweet berry, orange peel, nutmeg and cinnamon aromas. It’s medium-bodied with fine, precise tannins and a very long finish that caresses every inch of your palate. Extremely long and structured but refined and sophisticated."
Wine Spectator - June 30, 2026 "Well-defined aromas and flavors of cherry, raspberry and blackberry highlight this smooth, graceful red. Mineral and wild scrub notes emerge as this gathers steam midpalate. Ends with plenty of energy and freshness. The aftertaste echoes the fruit and savory elements, with just a hint of oak."
Jeb Dunnuck - February 18, 2026 "From a single high-elevation site at roughly 400 meters on galestro, the 2021 Brunello Di Montalcino Luce pours a bright ruby hue and offers pure notes of kirsch, blood orange, pressed flowers, and ripe raspberries. The palate is medium to full-bodied and beautifully polished, with refined tannins, refreshing acidity, and a light-on-its-feet feel that carries through the long finish. Raised in large casks rather than French oak barrels, it has terrific purity and should drink beautifully for 15 years or more."
Vinous - November 1, 2025 "The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino Luce entices with a cascade of dried rose petals, mint, sweet smoke and crushed plums. It is a total pleasure on the palate, with soothingly round textures and cooling acidity propelling its lavender-laced wild berry fruits across the senses. The 2021 finishes with excellent length and concentration, balanced and structured, leaving nuances of blackberry and dark chocolate."

Lucente
Lucente is the second wine of Luce, a wine with contemporary style, immediate and great pleasure, and like its elder sibling, an authentic interpretation of Montalcino and the Luce estate.
Luce
Luce is a singular and irresistible expression of Montalcino, a Super Tuscan with an exotic and some would say decadent side. The spectacular estate's diversity of soils, expositions and biodiversity of olive groves and forests come together in a wine as vibrant and exciting as a landscape.
