Description

Luce della Vite has been founded at the beginning of the 1990s by the Tuscan aristocrat and winemaker, Vittorio Frescobaldi, and the renowned American winemaker Robert Mondavi. They were brought together by the desire of creating excellent Tuscan wines in Montalcino. Luce della Vite means “light of vine”, as a reference to the sun: the source of life, energy and warmth.

Brunello di Montalcino – the wine made from Sangiovese grapes – is the highest-quality wine inspired by unique territory: it was first made in Montalcino in the second half of the 19th century and was the first in Italy to achieve the DOCG status, back in 1980.

Tasting Notes

Luce Brunello 2012 is an intense ruby red wine that presents a complex bouquet of red fruit, tobacco and chocolate aromas. In the mouth, the wine is well-rounded, full and generous. The tannins are silky and balanced by a vibrant acidity and a very long finish.

Serving Suggestions

It goes ideally well with game, pork, chicken, roast and grilled meat and medium mature cheeses
