[SOLD-OUT] LUCE Tuscan Merlot Sangiovese Blend 1997

Varieties: 50% Merlot, 50% Sangiovese
Appellation: Toscana IGT, Montalcino Tuscany
"Luce is the result of a project launched in the early 1990s, the fruit of a dream of two leaders in the history of wine, Vittorio Frescobaldi and Robert Mondavi. Their common goal was to unite together their individual passionate commitments and their own personal traditions, in order to offer the world a truly exceptional, utterly different wine, grown in the heart of Montalcino. Their sons, Lamberto and Tim, at that time both young winemakers, were the ones who brought into reality their fathers’ vision, uniting together in a magisterial blend, Sangiovese and Merlot. Luce 1997 is a firm and distinctive wine, yet refined and elegant, showing a striking ruby colour. A rich, variegated nose releases seductive fragrances of raspberry and blackcurrant that dance together with smoother notes of vanilla and clove, bringing to the bouquet notable warmth and length. The tannins are exceptionally fine-grained and velvety, which adds immeasurably to the complexity of this wine."
