Luce della Vite Frescobaldi, 75cl

When Vittorio Frescobaldi and Robert Mondavi crossed paths in the early 1990s, they penned a new chapter in the annals of Tuscan winemaking. This encounter birthed a wine, conceived from the shared dream of crafting something extraordinary in Montalcino, a region renowned for its exceptional vintages. Their vision sought to transcend the confines of tradition while honouring it, a fusion of the historic legacies held by both families in the world of wine. Thus emerged the ambitious venture known as Tenuta Luce, a name that reverberates with the essence of Montalcino.

The Luce 2019 vintage presents itself with an intense ruby-red hue, unveiling an aromatic bouquet that captivates the senses. Floral nuances of violet and rose intertwine with the delicate embrace of red fruits, notably raspberries, accompanied by sweet and harmonious spices. In the palate, the wine delivers a balanced and elegant experience, graced with an almost creamy texture, underpinned by velvety and seamlessly integrated tannins. The journey concludes with a persistent finish punctuated by subtle spicy notes.

This exceptional wine boasts a trove of accolades, with the 2005 vintage securing a prestigious Gold distinction from the International Wine & Spirit Competition, and the 2003 vintage earning the coveted Gold Best of Class recognition at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition.

Recommended drinking temperature: 18-20 °C. Best decanted for 1-2 hours.
