In Luce della Vite 2018, Tuscan tradition meets a contemporary vision: the result is an elegant, structured Supertuscan designed to evolve over time, with aging in French oak barriques that completes its character.

On the palate, the sip is rich and enveloping, supported by a silky tannic structure and well-integrated freshness. The structure is significant but harmonious, with a long, spicy, and slightly mineral finish that invites another taste.

Recommended pairings

Luce della Vite 2018 Frescobaldi pairs perfectly with important dishes from the land cuisine. It is ideal with beef fillet, grilled Chianina, oven-roasted lamb with aromatic herbs, and pappardelle with wild boar ragù. Excellent also with aged cheeses, particularly with a well-matured Tuscan pecorino, capable of supporting the richness and depth of the wine.

Serving temperature
