Comment on noteThe wine
I invite you to discover a wine that embodies the soul of Tuscany, a meeting between tradition and innovation. The Toscana IGT "Luce" from Frescobaldi is not just a wine, it's a story, a sensory journey that reveals the depth of its terroir.
Born of a visionary collaboration between Marquis Vittorio Frescobaldi and Robert Mondavi in 1995, this wine is the expression of a shared passion for excellence. From the Montalcino region, this Toscana IGT combines Merlot (75%) and Sangiovese (25%), two grape varieties that complement each other to offer remarkable richness and complexity.
From the very first glance, its intense, almost impenetrable red color promises you a robust tasting experience. On the nose, you will be enveloped by generous aromas of ripe red fruits, enhanced by notes of chocolate and vanilla, the fruit of meticulous aging in French oak barrels. On the palate, it reveals itself vigorous and balanced, with velvety tannins and an elegant freshness. The flavors of black fruits mingle with spicy accents and a light roasted touch, for a long and satisfying finish.
This wine is an ideal companion for elaborate dishes. Imagine it alongside roasted red meats, flavorful game or aged cheeses. It is a wine that elevates meals, transforming every tasting into an exceptional moment. I recommend it for those occasions when you wish to share a wine that tells a story, that of a fertile land and a precious winemaking heritage.
