FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is Luchini 2023 a good choice if I'm looking for a powerful red?

The profile described emphasizes freshness and delicacy rather than power. Choose it if you favor finesse and aromatic complexity; the description does not provide enough information to specify its richness or tannic structure.

If I enjoy Cabernet Franc, will I find a familiar reference point here?

Cabernet Franc is part of the blend, but it shares the cuvée with Grolleau and Syrah. Their proportions are not specified, so it is better to choose Luchini for its overall fresh and delicate profile than for a dominant expression of Cabernet Franc.

Does the term “no added sulfites” mean that this wine contains no sulfites at all?

No: the description says it was made without inputs or added sulfites, but does not guarantee a complete absence of sulfites. This term refers to the winemaking process, not to a measured level in the bottle.

Does aging in amphorae tell me whether this red wine is oaky?

Luchini 2023 was aged primarily in amphorae for six months, but the rest of the aging process is not detailed. No oaky notes are mentioned: the guidance provided for choosing it is its freshness, delicacy, and aromatic complexity.

Can I consider Luchini 2023 a reference point for future vintages of this cuvée?

Luchini is described as a limited-release cuvée, so you should not assume it will be made again in exactly the same way. The blend and profile described apply to the 2023 vintage, with no information about whether there will be another release.
