The Luce della Vite Tenuta Luce di Frescobaldi is crafted from a blend of Sangiovese and Merlot grapes grown at Tenuta Luce, located in the prestigious region of Montalcino in the province of Siena. Alcoholic fermentation took place in steel tanks for a period of 12 days at a maximum temperature of 28°C; maceration on the skins, necessary to extract color and aromas, lasted for 4 weeks. The wine was then aged in oak barrels for 24 months: 85% new and 15% second passage. In the incredible land of Brunello, Luce della Vite by Frescobaldi celebrates a happy union between the Tuscan tradition represented by Sangiovese and the international appeal of Merlot, which has been contributing to the creation of great regional reds known as Supertuscans since the 1970s.
