Frescobaldi - Tenuta Luce della Vite - LUCENTE 2017
Luce della Vite is a producer in Montalcino, Tuscany. Luce della Vite was founded in the early 1990s as a collaboration between Robert Mondavi and Marchesi de' Frescobaldi. Ownership passed entirely to Lamberto Frescobaldi in 2002.
The estate is located southwest of Montalcino town and has 77 hectares of estate vineyards in total. The Sangiovese is located in higher, well-drained soils, while the Merlot is planted in more clay-based, sandier soils. Parcels of the two varieties are vinified separately then blended before aging.
Lucente is the second wine of Luce, sourced from the same vineyards. The wine matures for 12 months in barriques inside Tenuta Luce’s cellar before bottling.
