Luce Toscana IGT 0.75L

The Luce della Vite is one of the most famous cuvées in Tuscany — a joint project between the Frescobaldi and Mondavi families that has been demonstrating since the 1990s what Sangiovese and Merlot can achieve together on Tuscan soils. This 6-liter imperial is not just a magnum-format experience, but a statement for special occasions.

In the glass, the cuvée presents itself in a deep ruby red. The nose opens with ripe blackberries and mulberries, accompanied by floral hints of violets and a sweet-spicy depth derived from aging in barriques. On the palate, the Merlot component reveals itself in the velvety texture, while the Sangiovese provides structure and an invigorating line of acidity. The finish is long, with notes of dark cherry and a touch of cedar wood.

Ideally, serve the Luce after a short decanting time of 30 to 45 minutes. At the table, it pairs well with Tuscan Bistecca alla Fiorentina, braised leg of lamb with rosemary, or mature Pecorino Stagionato. The large format is suitable for celebrations, anniversaries, or wine evenings where the wine itself becomes a topic of conversation.
