Luce Toscana Rosso IGT 2020 Luce della Vite - Frescobaldi

Luce

The first wine ever produced in Montalcino by blending Sangiovese and Merlot grapes. Combining the roundness and softness of Merlot with the structure and elegance of Sangiovese might seem obvious, yet it had never before been accomplished. It was only thanks to the collaboration of the Marchesi de' Frescobaldi and Robert Mondavi families that this innovative work was achieved in the land of Brunello di Montalcino, a world-famous wine made exclusively from Sangiovese grapes.
Since 2002, responsibility has passed entirely into the hands of Lamberto Frescobaldi who, in the land of Brunello di Montalcino, continues to write the history of Luce, combining the tradition of Sangiovese, a grape variety typical of the area, with the innovation of Merlot introduced in Montalcino in 1976.
