Nestled in the picturesque hills of Montalcino, Tenuta Luce is a pioneering estate renowned for its distinctive interpretation of the Super Tuscan style. Established through a visionary collaboration between the Frescobaldi family, one of Tuscany’s historic winemaking dynasties, and California wine legend Robert Mondavi, Luce brought together two celebrated grape varieties: Sangiovese and Merlot. This innovative blend marries the elegance and structure of Sangiovese with the richness and velvety texture of Merlot. Today, the estate combines meticulous vineyard management, exceptional terroir and modern winemaking to produce expressive, powerful wines that embody the spirit of Montalcino

Luce is a captivating Super Tuscan that unites ripe blackberries and mulberries with delicate floral notes, sweet spices and hints of dark chocolate. Full-bodied yet beautifully balanced, it offers silky tannins, vibrant freshness and an exceptionally persistent finish, showcasing the harmonious marriage of Sangiovese and Merlot

Blackcurrants, minerals, mint and hints of chocolate follow through to a medium to full body with linear fruit and tannins that run the length of the wine. The tannins are extremely polished, with beauty and style. Needs three or four years to come together. Best after 2027.

This is an iconic bottle that has seen mild stylistic tweaks but that fundamentally has remained quite consistent over the years. Sticking to its blueprint, the Tenuta Luce 2021 Luce della Vite remains a "super Tuscan-styled" blockbuster that speaks more of the grapes used in the blend than it does its territory. It is made with Sangiovese and Merlot. It shows thick extraction, soft tannins and a velvety mouthfeel. The oak tannins are a little dry, but the wine remains plush and accessible overall.
