Tenuta Luce - Lux Vitis | Italian Red Wine

The 2018 season was characterized by a cold and rainy winter with some snowfall at the end of February, which compensated for the considerable water deficit of the previous year. Spring was slightly unstable with more frequent rains than usual and mild temperatures that supported a rapid and optimal development of the grapevines. The summer months featured temperatures that were not excessively high and weak but well-spread out rains throughout the season, both of which contributed to a slow and regular development of the grapes’ ripening phases. Plentiful sunlight, and the consequent increase in temperatures in September, stimulated an extraordinary phenolic potential and a balanced sugar and acidity ratio in the fruit. The harvest took place on September 28.
