Tasting notes
The San Filippo 2020 Brunello di Montalcino le Lucére opens to dark concentration and a deep garnet color that sets the tone for a sultry taste profile to pair with game meats. This 10,000-bottle release reveals very bright fruit, propped up by ample acidity that fuels a long and vibrant finish. Like the other wines in this portfolio, this single-vineyard expression is tight and linear with a point of astringency on the tannins. This elegant wine is aged in a combination of large oak casks and barrique for up to 28 months, with the rest of the maturation period in bottle.

About this wine
Le Lucere is a Brunello di Montalcino DOCG from San Filippo, a Sangiovese red made in Montalcino, Tuscany, under the appellation's strict rules governing this single grape variety.
Expect the structured, savoury character typical of Brunello, firm tannin and bright acidity running through red cherry, dried herbs and notes of leather and forest floor. Built to age and to stand up to serious cooking, it suits beef, lamb, venison, game birds, duck and tomato-based dishes. A reliable choice for formal dinners on board where the wine needs to hold its own.
