VINIFICATION
50% of the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are partially dried. After a slow fermentation in
steel tanks at a controlled temperature between 22-26°C for 40 days, a short
maceration on the skins takes place. Once malolactic fermentation has been completed,
the wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels from Hennessy. These strong
toasted barrels are 10 years old and have been used to produce excellent spirits like
XO, Napoleon III, Paradis.
TASTING NOTES
Rich, fleshy and complex on the palate with layers of dark fruit. The use of barrels
creates notes on the nose of vanilla bourbon from the La Reunion islands, very sweet
but delicate - baba' cream and mascarpone notes with rum, almonds, officinal herbs, dry
vegetables, hay. Very soft and velvety tannins mouthfeel and aftertaste of coconut,
vanilla, dried fruit with a very long finish and light smoky notes.
The name LUí comes from a little bird that lives in the Cognac and Veneto regions. The
poem on the label is Catullus II or “Sparrow, the Special Delight of My Girl” (Il passerotto
di Lesbia) by Catullus.
