Wine description

From the blended vinification of two of the native grapes of the inland Tuscan area of province of Siena Sangiovese and Merlot present in a small percentage. The first wine ever produced in Montalcino combining the grapes of the Sangiovese and Merlot vines. Associating the roundness and softness of the second with the structure and elegance of the first might seem obvious, yet it had never been done before. Fruit of the wise and conscientious collaboration of the Marchesi de' Frescobaldi and Robert Mondavi families, this innovative work was carried out in the land of Brunello di Montalcino , world-famous wine obtained exclusively from sangiovese grapes.Since 2002, responsibility has passed entirely into the hands of Lamberto Frescobaldi which continues to write the history of Luce in the land of Brunello di Montalcino. More than twenty years have passed since that moment, today Luce continues to celebrate that uniqueness that made it famous throughout the world.

 

Characteristics of Luce Toscana wine

Upon organoleptic examination it is a wine that has a dark ruby red appearance. The perfume opens with a very powerful and persistent bouquet, complex and very deep. The nose is delighted by intense notes of black berries, such as currants and blackberries. In the background, delicate spicy aromas of cloves and black pepper can be perceived.Light hints of liquorice and balsamic fragrances enrich the complexity of the aromas. The taste in the mouth is broad and well structured with ripe tannins that envelop the palate in a velvet texture. Of great persistence.

 

Recommended pairings with this excellent Tuscan red wine

A wine that can be considered throughout the meal thanks to its wide versatility. It pairs excellently with pan-fried beef fillet, roasted or grilled meats. Also excellent with medium-aged cheeses. The ideal serving temperature is 18°C.
