Frescobaldi is one of the most renowned historic wineries in Italy and the world, a cornerstone of Tuscany’s winemaking past and present. With centuries of history, over 1,200 hectares of vineyards, ancient estates and castles, as well as a forward-thinking entrepreneurial vision, the Frescobaldi winery is a benchmark in the production of elegant wines with timeless charm. Toscana Tenuta Luce is an icon of the estate, a Super Tuscan of great richness and energy, whose exceptional quality stems from the collaboration between Frescobaldi and the renowned Napa Valley oenologist Robert Mondavi. The result is a deep, elegant and structured wine made from Sangiovese and Merlot grapes aged in barriques for 24 months. Luce is a wine produced in the Montalcino region, at the Tenuta Luce estate of the same name, where the vineyards grow on the hillsides in truly favourable and ideal climatic conditions. It possesses great expressive power and a strong personality; robust, full-bodied, with great depth and remarkable elegance.
With its deep, brilliant ruby colour, it seduces with its broad aromatic spectrum, with scents that shift from floral and fruity notes towards balsamic and undergrowth sensations, set against an intriguing interplay of spicy nuances. On the palate, it is full-bodied, assertive and elegantly powerful, with captivating freshness and velvety tannins. Exuberant, structured, intense and simply exquisite.
With its endless elegance, it pairs well with mature cheeses and hearty dishes featuring red meats and game.
To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 16–18°C.
