LUCE DELLA VITE

When Vittorio Frescobaldi – in the early Nineties – met Robert Mondavi, they gave life to a new chapter in the history of the great Tuscan wines, in the history of fine wines.
From that meeting, came Luce.
It all started from the desire to make a dream come true: create excellent wines from Tuscany in a particularly suitable terroir, Montalcino.
An ambitious project called Luce della Vite, a tribute to this primary element that gives warmth, energy, and life: in nature, nothing would exist without light.
Over the years, Tenuta Luce honoured this vision and became a cradle where exclusive wines are born, wines that earned a widespread, international appreciation among the great wines from Tuscany.

Luce 2017

In 2017, a crisp spring was followed by a warm, sunny and dry summer with bright cloudless skies. The clayey soils of the Merlot vineyards provided the plants with adequate water reserves, which helped reduce any heat-related stresses. Rain showers in mid-September supported a perfect ripening of the grapes. The wine displays an intense, almost impenetrable, ruby red color. On the nose, the wine introduces itself with intense red fruits and subtle hints of incense and spicy notes that bequeath extraordinary complexity. In the mouth, the bouquet’s complexity comes alive through elegant tannins that gift the wine with unique balance and structure.

Luce Brunello 2015

The 2015 vintage at Tenuta Luce will be a year to remember for the great quality and health of the grapes. Weather conditions were characterized by a crisp and rainy spring that provided the grapevines with the right stimuli and to develop significant water reserves in the subsoil, which is key to heat-related stresses to the vinest during the dry and sunny summer months. Subsequently, the excellent temperature ranges in September contributed to the perfect phenolic ripening of the grapes. The aromatic ripening benefited from the cool days preceding the harvest thus allowing us to obtain healthy, intact grapes with small and sparse bunches, which are ideal for the production of an excellent Brunello Luce 2015. The wine displays an intense ruby red color with pervasive aromatic notes of ripe black fruits and liquorice, followed by hints of tobacco and truffle. In the mouth, it seduces with its softness and freshness, revealing a refined structure built from velvety tannins. The finish is extraordinarily persistent and elegant.

Luce Brunello 2014

Weather conditions in 2014 were characterised by a sunny spring season with pleasant temperatures. Summer was cool with a few bene cial rain showers that helped the grapevines reach the ripening phase in excellent condition. The period immediately prior to the harvest (in the second half of September) was perfect: no rain, plenty of sun and signi cant night/ day temperature variations, all of which helped produce fantastic grapes for an excellent Brunello. Ruby red colour with purple highlights, this Brunello welcomes us with notes of kirsch and spices and initial complex and balsamic nuances. In the mouth, the wine shows its power and substance free, however, from any excesses. Soft and well-rounded it also surprises with a crispness supported by minty highlights.

Luce 2013

In 2013, seasonal conditions were particularly favourable to the grapevines’ biological cycles. A cool spring with regular rain was followed by a hot summer devoid of excessively high temperature peaks. Autumn began with good range of temperatures between night and day, which resulted in healthy, well-ripened grapes rich in polyphenolic substances. When poured in a glass, Luce 2013 immediately manifests its extraordinary richness with an intense and impenetrable colour coupled with an elegant and complex bouquet. To the nose, aromas are vibrant and vary from red berries, such as cherries and raspberries, to spiced notes enriched by delicate fl oral undertones. To the palate, the wine distinguishes itself for balance and freshness, persisting aromas, and refi ned and silky tannins that bestow great structure free from any sharpness.

Luce 2012

After heavy spring rains, summer weather conditions were almost ideal. A succession of dry days and significant day-night temperature differentials ensured a balanced concentration in the berries of aroma precursors and polyphenolic compounds. Light and heat thus combined to give Luce 2012 its elegance and force, plus its stunning aromatic complexity. The wine greets the eye with a dark ruby, then unfurls a forceful, complex bouquet of remarkable depth, characterised by rich notes of wild blackberry and blackcurrant. Delicate hints of spicy clove and black pepper enliven the background, and subtle impressions of black liquorice and balsam gradually make their presence felt as well, creating an aromatic amalgam of enviable richness. The palate opens generous and full-volumed, with ripe tannins that enfold the mouth in their velvety softness, while the near-endless aromatic progression is enhanced by a hint of smokiness through its entire length.

Luce 2011

During the month of August two verifi ed climatic events of extraordinary importance took place which shaped the characteristics of the grapes by force of the natural elements. The fi rst half of August was characterized by sunny days, with daytime temperatures never above 30°C, and very cold nights. In the second part of August the strength of the sun gave power and concentration to the red grapes. The fi nal result is that we have obtained red grapes of extraordinary health, mature, concentrated and rich in polyphenols. A deep, concentrated ruby red. The nose boasts an impressive complex of aromas, opening immediately with intense notes of fresh berryfruit, particularly blackcurrant and raspberry, followed by a hint of smooth vanilla hovering in the background. The palate offers an ultra-appealing crispness complementing its fl avours of ripe fruit, dried fl owers, and spices edged in smoke. Dense-packed, velvet-textured tannins contribute to an impressive structure that gives the wine its solid backbone. A near-endless fi nish provides a seductive vein of tangy mineral and spice, completing a wine that showcases a marriage of crispness and power.

Brunello di Montalcino

Luce Brunello 2013

The growing season saw a regularly rainy spring and early summer that allowed the grapevines to develop without any issues caused by the weather. A hot, but not extreme, summer helped interrupt the plants’ early growth and provided the ideal conditions for the ripening of the grapes. From the end of August until the harvest, the grapes maintained excellent health thanks to the positive effect brought on by the alternating warm days and cool evenings, and accumulated rich quantities of noble substances such as tannins and anthocyanins. This brilliant ruby-red Brunello introduces itself with a nose distinguished by balsamic notes, Mediterranean scrub, blond tobacco and cocoa followed by notes of ripe black fruit and brandied cherries. In the mouth, the wine expresses elegantly balanced and explicit tannins supported by stimulating flavour and crispness. The finish is beautifully persistent with sweet tobacco and blackcurrant jam. The wine expresses itself beautifully and is an ideal candidate for ageing.

The 2012 grape harvest ended on September 30. Spring was noteworthy for its plentiful rain showers that allowed the soil to soak up beneficial water reserves.

In September, the weather conditions proved ideal for a complete and excellent ripening of the grapes. Monumental Wine. Luce Brunello 2012 is an intense ruby red wine that presents a complex bouquet of red fruit, tobacco and chocolate aromas.In the mouth, the wine is well-rounded, full and generous.

Luce Brunello 2011

The 2011 growing season followed its regular course of alternating days of sun and rain marked by the mild temperatures that the Mediterranean spring is known for. The early summer’s warm and pleasant climate allowed the vines and grapes to reach the veraison in optimal conditions. The second part of August saw a distinct rise in temperatures, which is what Sangiovese grapes need for an extraordinary ripening distinguished by high concentration and excellent health. Appearing a deep and intense colour with light garnet hues, Luce Brunello 2011 offers a complex bouquet, rich in notes that go from small black fruits and spices, to tobacco and tea leaves. On the palate, the wine confirms the same aromatic complexity: a soft and enveloping start is balanced by an excellent tannic texture that gives the wine a long and persistent presence.
