Description
Luce 1999 Toscana IGT: elegance and depth from Montalcino
Luce 1999 Toscana IGT is a wine of great charm, born from the collaboration between Frescobaldi and Robert Mondavi and conceived as a meeting between the roundness of Merlot and the elegance of Sangiovese. The 1999 vintage, particularly favorable in Tuscany, has given rise to a mature, harmonious red capable of expressing structure, finesse, and a complex aromatic profile.

Produced in Tuscany and linked to the area of Montalcino, this Toscana IGT represents a refined interpretation of the territory, with a style that combines Tuscan tradition with a modern vision of wine. The blend of Sangiovese and Merlot provides balance between tension, softness, and depth, making Luce 1999 a wine of personality, designed to evolve over time and offer a complete and satisfying drinking experience.
Tasting notes

The sip is soft, elegant, and persistent, with a warm and harmonious finish.
Recommended pairings

Serving temperature
