Tuscany is known for its landscapes, history and artistic legacy. As the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance, the region has an incredible art and architecture heritage.<\/p>\n
Tuscany is certainly the most famous of all Italian regions for its wines. Sangiovese reigns in all its forms in the vineyards of Chianti but also Montepulciano and Montalcino.<\/p>\n
It is also the land of the Super Tuscan, the Bordeaux blend style that laid the foundation of some of the greatest Italian wines.<\/p>\n
As a pairing with these wines, Tuscany cuisine is based on simplicity but high quality and certainly topped with Tuscan olive oil, recognized all over the world.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”14194″ img_size=”400×200″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Located in the hills of southwest Montalcino, the site was launched by Vittorio Frescobaldi and Robert Mondavi in 1993.<\/p>\n
Luce was the first winery in Montalcino to produce a wine blended from Merlot and Sangiovese.<\/p>\n
Luce, translates to \u201clight\u201d in Italian, was inspired by the altar at Santo Spirito in Florence.\u00a0 It is a landmark church built on land donated by the Frescobaldi family during the Renaissance.<\/p>\n
The Frescobaldis took over full responsibility for the estate in 2004.<\/p>\n
The estate today consists of 245 hectares of land, 85 of which are planted to vine.<\/p>\n
Sangiovese is planted in the higher elevation parcels (up to 450 meters), which are rich in sandstone and limestone. The lower altitude clay plots are better suited to Merlot.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

\u201cThe freshness and the floral aromas with citrus fruit and berries are startling for a 2017. The palate is full and extremely refined with elegant tannins and vivid fruit and orange-peel undertones. Racy and bright at the finish. Drink or hold.\u201d \u2013 James Suckling, 96 Points<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Grape:<\/strong> 100% Sangiovese<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":14205,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"yoast_head":"\n
