Luce della Vite 2021 LUCE DELLA VITE

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.
