Luce is a wine produced at the Luce della Vite estate in the Montalcino zone of Tuscany, Italy. The wine began in 1995 as an unprecedented Cally-Italy project between winemakers Robert Mondavi and Antonio Frescobaldi. Luce means “light” in Italian, and a burning sun is the symbol of the winery, reflecting the sun-drenched, high altitude vineyards where the grapes are grown. They were the first to blend Sangiovese with Merlot. But in addition to Super Tuscans, Luce also produces a traditional Brunello di Montalcino with 100% Sangiovese, and also a grappa.

Great Quality Wine but not so much personality, from my point of view, (i do not feel the terroir), looks like it can be made everywere but in any case it's almost the enological perfection

    Drink Now- "Fascinating aromas of ripe berries and hints of coconut and vanilla bean follow through to a full body, with super silky tannins and a long and intense finish. Lots going on here. Excellent value. Needs another year or two to come together. But so excellent now...93" JamesSuckling.com 11/12Score: 93. November 2012.@ryebrook Read More
