About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The vines grow in the Tuscan province of Maremma on limestone and volcanic tuff soils. Yields are limited to 8 tonnes per hectare.

Vinification

The grapes are gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature.

Ageing

The young wine rests for two months in stainless steel tanks before bottling, followed by a further two months in the winery’s cellars before release.

Tasting profile

Fresh and fruity.

Label / history

The wine is named after Lucumone, the first Etruscan king to rule Ancient Rome. The name also evokes the Lucumoni, the kings of the Etruscan civilization represented by the ancient city of Heba near Magliano in Toscana. The Mantellassi family created the wine as a tribute to the Etruscans and, in particular, their winemaking skill.
