LUCE DELLA VITE
Our history. The beginning.
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.
Sun, warmth, life. This is the story of Luce.
From one generation to the other, the baton was given to Lamberto Frescobaldi, son of Vittorio.
Under his direction, Tenuta Luce della Vite has further strengthened the universe of expertise and knowledge, of discipline respectful of the rhythms of nature, of high quality oenological work thanks to which the fruits of the vines are transformed into excellent wines from Tuscany.
LUCE BRUNELLO
Of the 88 hectares of vineyards owned by Luce della Vite, 11 are registered in the Albo del Brunello di Montalcino.
This is where the Sangiovese for Luce Brunello is born. This wine is our tribute to this excellent wine born in Montalcino in the second half of the 19th Century. It was the first wine in Italy to achieve, in 1980, the Denominazione d’Origine Controllata e Garantita. Today it’s one of the emblems of fine wines made in Italy.
Luce Brunello di Montalcino thus continues a journey of the highest quality inspired by this unique territory and the great wines that are born here.
-Vintage 2019-
Luce Brunello 2019 appears an intense ruby red.
The nose immediately impresses, with intensely-fragrant liqueur cherries, red plum, and orange zest that meld into smooth impressions of pipe tobacco and black liquorice.
The palate is striking for its approachability, vibrant and enfolding, with a structure admirably bolstered by perfectly ripe tannins that proceed to a citrus-edged finish.
