Producers
Tenuta Luce: The Tenuta Luce winery was founded in 1995 from the dream and determination of two wine visionaries: Marchese Vittorio Frescobaldi from Florence and Robert Mondavi from California. By combining their passion and culture, they wanted to create an exceptional, distinctive wine in the heart of Montalcino. Their sons, Lamberto and Tim, then young oenologists, finally realized their vision by blending Sangiovese and Merlot, thus creating the first wine in Montalcino made from this combination. The unique Luce sun label is inspired by the high altar of the Basilica of Santo Spirito in Florence.
Description
The Luce Brunello presents itself in an intense ruby red. The nose is complex and fragrant, with notes of ripe red fruits, accompanied by pleasantly light tobacco and exotic spices. On the palate, the wine reveals itself as harmonious, rich, and highly structured, with silky tannins that, together with its freshness, create a very long finish. A sophisticated and powerful wine.
