Description
Still red wine from Tuscany IGT, 15% ABV, produced by Luce della Vite - Frescobaldi. Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese. 0.75 L bottle, 2021 vintage. A wine born from the encounter between two great grape varieties, united to create a unique sensory experience. Fermentation in concrete tanks, 20 days of maceration on the skins, malolactic fermentation in barriques, and aging for 24 months in 100% new French oak barriques. Complex aromas, with notes ranging from red fruits to spices and toasted notes. On the palate, it reveals all its power, simultaneously revealing great elegance and balance, thanks to the perfect balance of alcohol, acidity, structure, and the presence of a beautiful tannic texture. The finish is characterized by a very long aromatic persistence.

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. Read more
