TENUTA LUCE - LUCE BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO

The beginning of the year was characterized by a mild January and a cold February, with abundant precipitation both snowy and rainy, which helped rebalance water reserves. During the course of spring, temperatures were recorded above the seasonal average, which coupled with frequent rains allowed a rapid development of the buds. The prolonged presence of rains, even in the period of flowering, occurred at the beginning of June and led a lower productive load per plant. Later, the summer was affected by mild weather, without the presence of excessive rainfall or high temperatures. These conditions f favored proper cluster development and led to rapid veraison, which occurred in the first week of August. During the month of September some rains continued to keep the climate mild, thus allowing the grapes to preserve all their aromatic freshness and to reach full phenolic ripeness. The harvest took place on the 2nd of October.
