It took us the experience acquired over many years of careful observation, respectful of Nature, to give life to Lux Vitis.
Everything began in a Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard planted in Montalcino in 2004 on mixed sandy soil. Over the years we observed these vines as they grew, and were surprised by the exceptional quality of their grapes, so much so we decided to make an exclusive wine, capable of interpreting the Tenuta Luce terroir through Cabernet Sauvignon.
To these grapes, we added a small quantity of Sangiovese to enrich the wine’s character. The long ageing in new French oak barrels for 24 months further enhanced the elegance of this new wine by Tenuta Luce.
This was back in 2015, and we named this wine Lux Vitis as a homage to the light that brings life to all things.

Tasting Notes:
With its very intense ruby red color, Lux Vitis 2018 stands out for the presence of intense aromas of black fruit, black currant and blackberry in particular, which combined with the balsamic and black pepper notes make up a decidedly complex bouquet. On the palate, the wine presents itself as soft and enveloping before expanding to reveal an elegant structure balanced by a vibrant crispness and soft tannins. The finish, long and persistent, reveals a notable ageing potential
