Situated at the base of the Tuscan Apennines near the picturesque medieval village of Lucignano, Tenuta Licinia occupies a prime location straddling the border between the provinces of Siena and Arezzo. The estate encompasses 60 hectares of woodland, 5.5 hectares of vineyards, and 3 hectares of olive groves. Lucignano boasts an ancient viticultural heritage dating back to the time of the Etruscans, although winemaking declined during the social unrest of the 20th century. The vineyards were reestablished in 2007 on a plot renowned for producing exceptional wines in the local region. Tenuta Licinia focuses on crafting limited quantities of wines that reflect the unique interaction between the grapes and the subsoil. Vines are exclusively planted in areas where the galestro subsoil, highly esteemed in Tuscany, predominates. Certified organic, the winery has also begun incorporating biodynamic principles into its vineyard management since 2019.

TASTING NOTES
Displaying a deep, blackish garnet hue, this wine unveils a rich and intricate aromatic profile. Layers of complexity emerge with aromas of blackberries, black plums, sour cherries, burnt orange peel, lime, peppermint, eucalyptus, and damp earth. Full-bodied and textured with exceptionally fine-grained tannins, it offers flavors of black fruits, baking spice, and hazelnuts on the palate. The finish is prolonged, evolving, and characterised by notes of black fruits, dried herbs, and baking spice, leaving a lingering and memorable impression.
