The Tenuta Luce 2019 Lux Vitis (in a heavy bottle) is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with some Sangiovese in the blend. The wine opens to an inky dark appearance with pressed blackberry, sweet cinnamon and cumin. There is some oak astringency on the tannins that will relax in time. Otherwise, this is a richly textured and concentrated red wine to drink on a cold winter evening by an open fire. The wine is almost full-bodied, but it actually feels more streamlined on the close.

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. Only 6,600 bottles were released.
