Tuscany IGT 2020 Frescobaldi Light of the Vine

Luce della Vite Toscana IGT 2020 Frescobaldi

Luce della Vite Toscana IGT 2020 by Frescobaldi is a great Tuscan red wine born from the meeting of Sangiovese and Merlot, designed to unite elegance, structure, and softness in a recognizable and refined style. It is an iconic label, an expression of a high-profile winemaking project that enhances the territory of Montalcino and the contemporary vision of one of the most important families in Italian wine.

Territory and wine style

Produced within the Toscana IGT, Luce della Vite 2020 interprets with personality the dialogue between two complementary grape varieties: the noble character and tension of Sangiovese, combined with the roundness of Merlot. The result is a red with a modern profile but deeply rooted in Tuscan tradition, capable of offering structure, balance, and a distinct territorial identity. The 2020 vintage benefited from conditions conducive to a complete ripening of the grapes, with harvests carried out at different times for the two grape varieties, in order to best preserve their expressive potential.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents with an intense ruby red. The bouquet is complex and elegant, with notes of ripe black fruits like blackberry and mulberry, accompanied by hints of cocoa and sweet spices. On the palate, it shows excellent structure, yet without losing harmony and liveliness: the acidity is well present and supports the drink, while the tannins are soft and silky. The finish is long, fine, and persistent, with a coherent and refined closure that invites a slow and mindful tasting.

It is ideal with braised meats, game, grilled fillet, roasted cuts of meat, and baked preparations.

The softness of Merlot and the freshness of Sangiovese enhance its versatility at the table.
