Luce Della Vite 2019

The bouquet of the bright ruby wine reveals floral tones. Aromatic notes of violet and rose can be immediately felt. The rich aroma is complemented by subtle flavors of raspberry and sweet spices. This red wine is packed with tannins and leaves a long finish.

The wine goes well with grilled meats, lamb, game and mature cheeses.

The crop is harvested in September and undergoes fermentation in concrete tanks. The process is carried out under controlled temperature at 28°C. Fermentation with the skins takes 22 days.

Two types of barrels are used for wine aging: old and new. 80% percent are the new barriques.

In 1995, two wine families - the famous Frescobaldi from Tuscany and Mondavi from America - decided to join forces and create a joint venture Luce Della Vite in the Montalcino area. The innovative approach and modern technologies of one of the leaders of the Californian wine market - the Mondavi family - combined with centuries of winemaking experience and the traditional vision of the winemaking process of the Frescobaldi family. Both families have set themselves the task of creating one of Italy's greatest wines. It all started with the compilation of blends from the wine materials of the Frescobaldi estate in 1993 and 1994.
