Lucente

This is an attractive and accessible mid-weight wine to pair with grilled meats or aged cheese.

The growing season was defined by a regular spring that was only slightly warmer than usual and facilitated an earlier budding. Summer was relatively cool and rainy, which kept water reserves well-supplied and helped the grapevines develop regularly. These conditions resulted in an optimal ripening of the grapes that reached the harvest intensely coloured and perfectly healthy.

Barriques: 55% new French oak, 5% new American oak, 40 % French oak used once.

When Vittorio Frescobaldi – in the early Nineties – met Robert Mondavi, they gave life to a new chapter in the history of the great Tuscan wines, in the history of fine wines. From that meeting, came Luce. It all started from the desire to make a dream come true: create excellent wines from Tuscany in a particularly suitable terroir, Montalcino. An ambitious project called Luce della Vite, a tribute to this primary element that gives warmth, energy, and life: in nature, nothing would exist without light. Over the years, Tenuta Luce honoured this vision and became a cradle where exclusive wines are born, wines that earned a widespread, international appreciation among the great wines from Tuscany.
