Winemakers Notes
Luce - the magnificence of Tuscany
A new chapter in the history of the great Tuscan wines was written when Vittorio Frescobaldi met Robert Mondavi in the early 90s. Their encounter gave rise to an ambitious project called Tenuta Luce. The name evokes the sunlight in Montalcino, which is source of life and nourishment. It also marks the passage of the seasons and sets the pace for any agricultural activity. In this way, it was only natural that the sun became the emblem of the estate.
Located in Montalcino, Tenute Luce delivers a unique experience in a place surrounded by nature. Only 88ha of the 249ha of land, is planted with vines. The bright light that comes from the vineyard's specific exposure, the cool breeze and the diversity of soils and altitudes make Luce a place of choice, where the balance of all of these elements is taken care of. Since the very beginning of this project, respect has been at the heart of every action: respect of the earth, of the beauty of nature and of the people who are working daily at Luce.
Lamberto Frescobaldi took over from his father in 2005 and remained faithful to these values. In 2016, he launched the construction of a new winery that is perfectly integrated in Montalcino's landscape.
Luce Brunello is a tribute to the terroir of Montalcino. 11 out of 88ha of the vineyard are located on the "Brunello di Montalcino Appellation" area. Luce Brunello di Montalcino continues a journey of the highest quality inspired by this unique territory and the great wines that comes to life here.
