  • Start up year: 1995
  • Oenologist: Alessandro Marini
  • Bottles produced: 470.000
  • Hectares: 88
When Vittorio Frescobaldi met Robert Mondavi in the early 1990s, a new chapter opened in the history of great Tuscan wines.

From that meeting a wine was born, inspired by an ambitious project and linked to one of Tuscany's election territories for the production of outstanding wines. The project consisted in creating a wine in Montalcino that would go beyond the boundaries of tradition, without denying it, by drawing on the experience of two historical families in the world of wine.

The dream took shape in Tenuta Luce, a name that evokes the light of the Montalcino sun, which is the source of life and nourishment, which marks the passage of the seasons and gives rhythm to every agricultural activity.

Since then, Tenuta Luce has always honoured this vision, and the estate's flagship wine, Luce, has been joined by other exclusive wines, capable of transcending the boundaries of their own territory, earning unanimous acclaim internationally.

Climate The Spring is characterized by the abundance of rain, with temperatures well below average. Rain and wind during flowering in June resulted in clusters with smaller berries, especially Sangiovese and Merlot. However, the Summer months, including September, were warm and sunny and the absence of problems related to water scarcity have encouraged a high level of maturity of all varieties.
