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.

The Winery

Luce della Vite

Tenuta Luce della Vite – Tuscan high-altitude art. Southwest of Montalcino, the estate extends over 192 hectares, 55 of which are vineyards. 350 to 420 meters above sea level – one of the highest locations in the area.

Sangiovese grows on Galestro soil, while Merlot thrives in deeper, clay- and sand-rich sites. Long, hot summers, southern exposure, slow ripening – this results in concentrated, powerful wines.

Low yields (approx. 30 hl per hectare). Thinning, defoliation – everything to strengthen the character of the grape varieties and capture the essence of the terroir. Montalcino in its purest form.

Find the right wine faster – with our picks

Row above the wines with the “Our picks” button open and three Super Tuscans

You can now find the right wine faster. Above the wines in every category there is one row that brings it all together: Our picks, Occasion, Goes with, Wine style, Filters and Sort by.

Row above the wines with Filters, Our picks, Goes with, Wine style, Bought before and Sort by; the "Our picks" button is open with "Super Tuscan" selected, next to it Tignanello, Le Volte and Le Serre Nuove

  • Our picks. The "Our picks" button comes first. Choose "Great value" to see wines that deliver more than their price suggests. Some of them have been recognised by Falstaff and other critics for exactly that, the others we have picked for you.
  • Super Tuscans. On the Tuscany page, "Our picks" also takes you to the red cult wines that deliberately broke with the old appellation rules: Tignanello, Ornellaia, Sassicaia, Le Volte, Guado al Tasso and many more, from the first step up to large formats.
  • One tap, one choice. Tap "Occasion", "Goes with" or "Wine style" and pick what you are looking for, such as "Aperitif & spritz" or "Fish". The button then shows what is currently selected.
  • Everything at a glance. Whatever you have selected appears right below. Tap the cross to remove it, or "Clear all" to remove everything at once.
  • Always at hand on your phone. The row stays at the top while you scroll, so you can change filters and sorting without scrolling back up.
  • Bought before. When you are logged in, the "Bought before" switch shows which wines in the category you have already bought from us, online or in the shop. Handy when you want to find a favourite again.
