Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese

Wine Advocate: 95

Wine Advocate: Here's an exciting new discovery from the Frescobaldi family and their Tenuta Luce estate. The packaging sports a rock 'n' roll label with golden sunbeams, or maybe it is stardust, etched across the entire front of the bottle. The Tenuta Luce 2018 Lux Vitis is saturated and bold with full-bodied intensity. This is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon with a small part of Sangiovese aged in 100% new French oak for 24 months. A core of dark cherry and blackberry is framed by sweet spice, bitter chocolate and campfire embers. Like the other wines in the Tenuta Luce portfolio, oak spice and tannins play an important role in the baseline style expressed here.
