Frescobaldi is one of the most renowned historic wineries in Italian and across the world, a keystone of the past and present wine-growing tradition of Tuscany. With centuries of history, more than 1200 hectares of vines, ancient homes and castles, as well as a cutting-edge entrepreneurial vision, the Frescobaldi winery is a point of reference in the production of elegant wines with an age-old charm. Rosso La Vite Lucente is a fitting example of this: a soft, rich and fragrant wine, with a seductive harmony and expressive strength, which unites the stake nature of Sangiovese with the roundness of Merlot in a combination which provides pleasantness and elegance both young and after ageing for years. The grapes are harvested at different times and fermented in stainless steel at a controlled temperature. Malolactic fermentation is then carried out in stainless steel and finally ageing in partly new and partly used barriques for around 12 months. La Vite Lucente is a wine from the territory of Montalcino, on the Tenuta Luce estate where the vineyards grow on the hillsides under very favourable and precious climatic conditions. It has great expressive strength and a bold, immediate personality, but at the same time it has great depth. To the eye, it has an intense purplish red colour. On the nose, it is characterised by notes of ripe red fruit, raspberries and cherry, accompanied by vanilla sensations and a light balsamic hint. The attack on the palate is soft, balanced, well supported by a pleasing freshness and smooth tannins. Characteristics which all together give sweetish notes and a long and persistent finish. Perfect together with roasted red meats or mixed grills.
