Toscana Rosso IGT 'Luce' 2019 (750 ml.) Tenuta Luce
The Toscana Rosso 'Luce' by Tenuta Luce is the iconic wine of the Tenuta, representing the harmonious balance between the elegant structure of Sangiovese and the fullness of Merlot, between the tradition of Montalcino and the personal interpretation that the winery has given to this land. A Super Tuscan of great richness and energy, born from Sangiovese and Merlot and aged for 24 months in barrique. It has a deep and articulated aromatic profile of berries, wilted flowers, balsamic and menthol herbs, and above all, sweet spices. On the palate, it reveals itself to be structured, tannic, intense, and exuberantly fresh. Excellent.

Tenuta Luce
In the heart of Tuscany, where the hills of Montalcino paint landscapes of extraordinary beauty, lies the Tenuta Luce. This winery is the result of a shared vision between two of the greatest wine families: Frescobaldi and Mondavi. A joint venture that has given rise to one of the most prestigious Supertuscans, a project that combines centuries-old Italian tradition with an innovative approach, capable of challenging and redefining the boundaries of taste.
The production philosophy of the Tenuta Luce is based on a perfect balance between respect for the land and winemaking experimentation. The hills of Montalcino, with their mineral-rich soils and temperate climate, provide the ideal stage for the cultivation of Sangiovese and Merlot grapes. These varieties, lovingly cared for and harvested at the peak of their ripeness, give life to wines that embody the very essence of Tuscany.
The flagship wine of the estate, "Luce", represents a perfect blend of power and elegance. A rich wine, capable of revealing with every sip complex layers of aromas and flavors, from the sweetness of ripe cherries to the spicy notes of tobacco and chocolate. Alongside it, "Lucente" offers an equally captivating experience, with a softer and more accessible profile, but no less intriguing, highlighting the versatility of Merlot.
On the palate, the wines of the Tenuta Luce present themselves as a sensory journey, a tale of passion and tradition that invites the discovery of an extraordinary wine world. Discover on Vino45 the labels signed by Tenuta Luce and let yourself be carried away by the magic of Montalcino, where every glass tells a story of excellence and innovation.

THE WINE
The Toscana Rosso 'Luce' by Tenuta Luce is the iconic wine of the Tenuta, representing the harmonious balance between the elegant structure of Sangiovese and the fullness of Merlot, between the tradition of Montalcino and the personal interpretation that the winery has given to this land. A Supertuscan of great richness and energy, born from Sangiovese and Merlot and matured for 24 months in barrique. It has a deep and articulated aromatic profile of berries, wilted flowers, balsamic and menthol herbs, and, above all, sweet spices. On the palate, it is structured, tannic, intense, and exuberantly fresh. Excellent.
THE ESTATE
Tenuta Luce extends to the southwest of Montalcino in the heart of the Natural Park of the Val d'Orcia, a rural landscape skillfully and aesthetically reshaped by man in the pre-Renaissance era and recognized in 2004 as an Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO. It is in this extraordinary land, historically known for its high-quality wines, that the 249 hectares of Tenuta Luce are located. This unspoiled and sparsely populated environment is rich in biodiversity and includes a vast wooded area, olive trees, and 88 hectares of vineyards. The philosophy of Tenuta Luce is based on the idea that wine should be as natural an expression as possible of the place where it is produced, as well as the specific characteristics of each grape variety, thus achieving a perfect balance between grape and terroir. Human intervention is quite limited and always non-invasive, aiming to protect this natural harmony. The wines of Tenuta Luce were born in the early 1990s from this unique terroir and philosophy through the collaboration of two great wine figures, Vittorio Frescobaldi and Robert Mondavi. After choosing Montalcino, they combined their knowledge to distinctly pursue the potential of this terroir so suited to winemaking. Since 2004, when the partnership with Mondavi ended, Lamberto Frescobaldi has been leading the Tenuta Luce project, supported by an entire team dedicated to perpetuating this vision.
