Technical Notes: Tenuta Luce 2022, 30ª Vendemmia, is a heady mix of Merlot and Sangiovese grapes. Harvesting for the Merlot took place on August 28, and harvesting for the Sangiovese took place later on September 10. The sugar at harvest time for the Merlot was 260 g/l, and 255 g/l for the Sangiovese. The total acidity at harvest was 6.75 g/l for the Merlot, and 6,88 g/l for the Sangiovese. It was fermented in concrete vessels at 28 degrees Celsius (82.4 Fahrenheit) for 12 days, with 22 days of maceration on the skins. Malolactic fermentation occurred in 80% new, and 20% once used barriques, and maturated for 24 months. The wine was bottled in November 2024. Alcohol: 14%, total acidity 6,25 g/l, and 3.40 ph.
Tasting Notes: The color is a gorgeous, deep ruby color. Heady and aromatic with rich red berries, pomegranate, and underlying blackberry jammy and floral notes that entice the nose, then follow through and linger on the palate with subtle tannins for a long and memorable luscious finish. This is a stunning wine that celebrates the Tenuta Luce brand.
Pairing Suggestions: Grilled meats, aged cheeses.
Luxury Experience – Filet Mignon, Tempura Onion, Mashed Potato & Celery Root
Luxury Experience Pairing: The Tenuta Luce 2022, 30ª Vendemmia, is an incredibly special wine, so we wanted to highlight its luscious layers of flavors. As the wine pairs well with grilled or roasted meat, we opted to pair it with filet mignon cooked medium rare and accompanied by a head of roasted garlic to squeeze onto the meat, creamy mashed potatoes enhanced with pureed celeriac root, and steamed broccoli for an elegant, easy, yet delicious pairing. The grilled filet mignon really brought out the layered nuances of this Super Tuscan wine beauty. This expression from Tenuta Luce is a celebration of the art of winemaking, time, terroir, and nature. Salute and Mangia bene!
