之前介紹了Luce della vite 的 Super Tuscan，今次終於輪到推薦他的 Brunello di Montalcino ，酒莊總面積88公頃，只有11公頃可列入 Brunello di Montalcino DOCG，屬少量生產，精挑莊園最優質的Sangiovese， 釀造後放24個月橡木桶陳熟，Frescobaldi 家族自1308年開始釀酒，已對Sangiovese 品種作長期深入的研究，而且 Luce della Vite 是 Montalcino 地勢最高的酒莊（350-420米 )，高海拔提昇了種植 Sangiovese 的種植條件，涼爽多風讓Sangiovese葡萄保留更佳復雜性，而且酒莊葡萄園含有Tuscany 獨有的土壤 Galestro (片岩混合砂石) 及石灰岩，只有在托斯卡納最頂級的葡萄園先搵到 Galestro，土壤排水優良且保持乾燥，有利Sangiovese 葡萄生長，而西南朝向亦使葡萄能得到完熟，最終建構成 Brunello di Montalcino的力量和超強的馥郁感，沒有混調Merlot ，Brunello di Montalcino 成為了最原始的Sangiovese演譯，也是最純正的意大利生命之光

The 2014 Brunello di Montalcino Luce definitely holds its own. I was a little surprised to see that the Frescobaldi family opted to make this top-end Brunello in such a difficult vintage. Now that I have the sample before me I can clearly see the confidence required to make such a difficult choice. In fact, I'm not even sure I would get that this wine was from 2014 in a blind tasting. It delivers ripe and round fruit flavors of blackberry and plum, along with significant 15.5% alcohol and thick extraction that defies everything we know about 2014. There is a lot of power and grit at the core of this opulent Brunello. Some 25,000 bottles were made.

Plenty of forest berry and leaf aromas with cedar wood and some menthol, ahead of a smooth and succulent palate that has an easygoing, flavorful core of ripe berries. Lots to like here.

Deep red. Balsamic, spicy and earthy notes complement aromas and flavors of ripe blue and red fruit. Juicy flesh and very suave tannins give this a polished, creamy mouthfeel. Finishes long and multilayered. A very good Brunello in a difficult vintage such as 2014.
