Luce 1997

Luce, crafted by Luce della Vite, hails from the heart of Tuscany, Italy. Known as a quintessential Super Tuscan, it masterfully blends international varieties like Sangiovese and Merlot. The 1997 vintage is particularly celebrated for its rich fruit flavors and the complexity that comes with aging.

This wine makes its appearance in volume 19 of 'Drops of God'. In the story, Kido presents it as a prime example of high-quality Super Tuscans from Italy, describing its profound flavors and elegance as if Tuscany's light were pouring into the glass.

Pouring into the glass, Luce reveals a deep garnet color with a slightly orange hue at the rim, indicating its maturity. The aroma is open and inviting, filled with ripe black cherry and dried plum notes, alongside complex scents of underbrush and tobacco. On the palate, it boasts a solid structure yet offers silky tannins, balancing power with elegance.

The acidity is smooth, maintaining harmony throughout. The finish is long and leaves lingering flavors of fruit and spice on the palate. Even after sipping, you're enveloped in its aroma and taste. For the best experience, take your time and savor this wine slowly.
