Right from the start, they were supported by their respective sons, Lamberto and Tim, both young oenologists. The experience acquired since the Seventies with the vineyards of Merlot planted in these plots, and the knowledge of their expressive uniqueness proved to be essential. Luce, the wine from which it all began, was concieved as the harmonious meeting point between the elegance and the structure of Sangiovese, the local native varietal, and the roundness of Merlot. Luce’s first harversts, in 1993 and 1994, were presented together in 1997, immediately stimulating curiosity and interest. The project continued to grow, developing over the years: two acquisitions between 2001 and 2016, new vineyards, new challenges. In 2005, when the join venture with Mondavi ended, Lamberto Frescobaldi took the helm, directing the production.Other wines, over the years, joined Luce: in 1998 Lucente was presented, the second wine of Tenuta Luce. In 2003 Luce Brunello was born. Finally, with the 2015 harvest, Lux Vitis came to life. At the core of Tenuta Luce's philosophy is the idea that wine should be the most natural expression of the lands where it is produced and the grapes from which it is obtained: the result of a perfect balance between grape variety and territory. Each human intervention takes place in a minimal and non-invasive form, with the main objective of protecting this harmony.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-03-10T11:02:50-05:00","created_at":"2023-02-26T17:52:58-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_Italy","NK2602","Other_Wine","Producer_Tenuta Luce","Region_Tuscany","Source_Bestofwines0223","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Merlot","Varietal_Sangiovese"],"price":49899,"price_min":49899,"price_max":49899,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42805897592970,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2019 | Tenuta Luce | Luce","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":49899,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/40_b3dd70c2-0ec0-4e51-bacf-b56851c3cbdf.jpg?v=1677452009"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/40_b3dd70c2-0ec0-4e51-bacf-b56851c3cbdf.jpg?v=1677452009","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2019 | Tenuta Luce | Luce at CaskCartel.com","id":24294084247690,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.404,"height":1495,"width":604,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/40_b3dd70c2-0ec0-4e51-bacf-b56851c3cbdf.jpg?v=1677452009"},"aspect_ratio":0.404,"height":1495,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/40_b3dd70c2-0ec0-4e51-bacf-b56851c3cbdf.jpg?v=1677452009","width":604}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2019 | Tenuta Luce | Luce\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLuce 2019 has an intense ruby red color.
