Luce Brunello

The history of Tenuta Luce is linked to the meeting in the 90s of two great personalities of Tuscan viticulture, Vittorio Frescobaldi and Robert Mondavi, with the intention of giving life to a wine in Montalcino vineyards that went beyond tradition, while respecting it. The first label was called Luce della Vite, in honor of the light of those hills that illuminates and regenerates everything. Since then, Tenuta Luce has grown and has been able to create other extraordinary wines, garnering international attention and appreciation. Today, 25 years after that meeting, the winery is led by Lamberto Frescobaldi, Vittorio’s son, who in the name of the great family tradition has been able to enhance that respect and deep bond with the territory, which we find in the iconographic study behind the same mark, a sun rayed with twelve flames inspired by the altar of Santo Spirito in Florence.

Luce Brunello 2015 represents an excellent vintage, with a cool and rainy spring that was able to balance the dry summer climate, followed by breezes that contributed to a perfect phenolic ripening of the Sangiovese grapes. Fermentation took place in steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 28 ° C for 12 days, and subsequent maturation on the skins for 4 weeks. For the aging, Slavonian oak barrels were used, where the wine rested for over 24 months before being bottled in July 2019. A Brunello with a strong personality, elegant and refined.
