2022 Luce della Vite 'Tenuta Luce'

力道與細膩同在，一飲顯氣勢，收藏也合適。

為什麼選它？
- 酒莊傳承與國際合作背景 -> 品質有保障，穩定又有層次。
- 長時間橡木桶陳年 -> 果味濃而不散，香料、烘烤木香和礦物感互補。
- 架構完整、收束力強 -> 現飲有魅力，存放也會越來越迷人。

侍酒師私房筆記：倒出來先是深沉的黑莓、後備的黑櫻桃與李子，底端有一抹紫羅蘭與石墨感。入口絲滑但並不軟塌——明顯的單寧像刻刀一樣為果實刻出線條，酸度讓整支酒精神抖擻。尾段帶些烘烤香、香草和礦物鹹感，餘韻悠長，吃肉時會把味道拉得更明顯。建議醒一小時，能讓中段更圓潤。

場景化配餐指南：週末在家招呼三五好友烤牛排、節日的燒羊或與朋友共享慢燉牛肋；在香港可配燒味拼盤、和牛片或松露／牛肝菌義大利燉飯，馬上提高餐桌格調。

降維打擊對比：相較於同級複雜超級托斯卡，這支更能在價格區間內提供同等的濃縮度與桶香，既有收藏潛力，又適合當下享用。

Soul Hook: A Super-Tuscan that pairs velvet fruit with carved-in tannins — immediate charm with serious ageing bones.

Why choose it?
- Meticulous oak ageing -> Deep, layered structure that rewards both early drinking and cellar time.
- Estate pedigree and hands-on craftsmanship -> Consistent quality from a project led by historic Tuscan custodians.
- Balanced power -> Bold fruit and mineral drive without losing focus or elegance.

Sommelier's Note: Dark, concentrated fruit opens first — blackberries, cassis and black cherry — layered with floral hints and graphite. The palate is plush and dense, then tightened by engraved tannins and refreshing backbone; oak adds spice and toasted nuances, carrying a persistent, mineral-tinged finish. Decant 60–90 minutes to reveal the mid-palate and soften the initial grip.

Occasion / Pairing: Perfect for a celebratory roast at home, a rooftop steak night, or a seasonal dinner with slow-braised meats. In Hong Kong, match with Cantonese-style roast beef, wagyu striploin, or mushroom-forward pasta for instant lift.

Competitive Edge: Offers the cachet and ageing potential of big-name Super Tuscans but at a relative value — concentrated terroir character and precision oak treatment that stand out against similarly priced imports.

Winery

露鵲（Luce della Vite）始於1990年代，由 Marchesi de' Frescobaldi 與 Robert Mondavi 共同發起；自2004年起由 Lamberto Frescobaldi 全面掌舵。釀造方面採用低溫不鏽鋼發酵（<30°C）、約12天發酵、長時間皮浸約四週，進行桶內乳酸發酵，並以約24個月的橡木桶陳年（高比例新桶）來塑造酒體與香料層次。葡萄園管理注重成熟度與平衡，才有這樣集中但有骨架的成品。

Luce della Vite was launched in the early 1990s as a joint project between Marchesi de' Frescobaldi and Robert Mondavi; since 2004 the estate has been directed solely by Lamberto Frescobaldi. The Luce 'Luce' blend is vinified with modern precision: temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation (<30°C) for about 12 days, extended maceration (~4 weeks), malolactic fermentation in barriques, and roughly 24 months of oak ageing (a substantial portion in new barriques) to build structure and spice.
