Information about "Beau Constantia Lucca 2020"
Beau Constantia Lucca exudes heavenly aromas of lush plums, dark mint chocolate and fine aniseed with elegant restraint, wonderful depth and complexity that deserves further exploration. The dense concentration of red berry fruit on the palate pampers with polished tannins together with a great texture and structure. The wine is full-bodied and opulent, but at the same time light, thanks to its fantastic minerality and fragrant freshness, which leads to a long and clearly defined finish. This wine has been handmade to express the elegance and finesse of these original Bordeaux varieties.

The grapes, harvested at perfect ripeness, were meticulously hand-selected, berry by berry, for further processing. Following a cold soaking phase, alcoholic fermentation took place alongside additional maceration lasting 25 days. After pressing in traditional basket presses, the wine was transferred to barrels, where it matured for 18 months in small French oak casks, 35% of which were new.
