Note di degustazione
A big, dramatic wine, the 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Luce saturates the palate with masses of intense dark fruit. Smoke, mocha, bittersweet chocolate, plum and cloves all open up in the glass. The 2010 is rich, creamy and voluptuous, with tons of texture and pure resonance. It can be enjoyed today or cellared for up to a decade, perhaps beyond. Stylistically, the Luce Brunello sits on the far edge of concentration and textural thickness, with an Amarone-like intensity. As such, the Luce Brunello is not varietally expressive, but rather needs to be taken on its own terms.

The 2010 Luce della Vite Brunello di Montalcino is a dark and impenetrable wine that oozes intensity and impressive opulence. This is one of those Brunello wines that takes Sangiovese to the outer limits of concentration at the outer edge of space and then flings it back down to us earthlings to enjoy. Given the softness and the textural richness, it's safe to predict that this wine will drink well in both the near and long term. It has that unique aging flexibility. Only the tannins, mostly oak tannins by the taste of them, need additional softening and finessing that should occur with extra cellar aging. There's a touch of bitter astringency as well that is distracting. By the taste of it, the 2010 Luce is the biggest and most extracted Brunello in 2010.
