Tenuta Luce Luce 2020
Toscana IGT
February 17, 2026 - Luce is a bold, Super Tuscan wine that blends the power of Sangiovese with the roundness of Merlot, creating a unique expression of Montalcino. Born from a partnership between the Marchese Vittorio Frescobaldi and Robert Mondavi, the wine combines dark fruit, floral and spice notes, and chewy tannins, showcasing the region’s distinctive character.
