About this winery

Like a heart, beat after beat Tenuta Luce della Vite sets the rhythm that gives life to wine. Built on one level, under a hill with two pre-existent farmsteads, it is perfectly inserted in the landscape. A sober and functional place, but also full of the warmth of Luce. The perfect cradle for our fine wines from Tuscany.

Tasting notes

The wine’s complex nose of ripe fruit features dominant cherry and plum aromas introduced by spicy highlights of vanilla and ginger bread that pave the way for softer notes of cinnamon and cloves. To the palate, the wine is genuine and structured. The tannins are present but elegant and not aggressive, providing a broad and dense frame to the wine. The wine is pleasant with a sustained finish dominated by a wonderful crispness.

October 2018 (Vintage 2015)

''This is a new and exciting red from Luce that is about 90 per cent cabernet sauvignon and the rest sangiovese. Fantastic structure and power. So savory and juicy at the same time. Full body, silky-textured tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Smoke and wet earth at the end. Superb. Wait until 2021, but already gorgeous.''
