Tenuta Luce, the Vision of Two wine-making legends
Join us in the St. James’s Room for a fantastic tasting of Luce wines hosted by Tenuta Luce winemaker and Chef des Cave Alessandro Marini, and Peter Ferguson, Global Sales Director for Marchesi di Frescobaldi.
Montalcino is regarded as one of the world’s most unique wine appellations, its wines highly sought after by wine lovers and collectors internationally.
Tenuta Luce, one of the few great Tuscan estates often referred to as “Super Tuscans”, is situated Southwest of the hilltop town of Montalcino, beginning as a project initiated in the early 90s with the meeting of two “legends” of wine, Vittorio Frescobaldi and Robert Mondavi.
Choosing to make a wine together, the duo shared their knowledge to pursue the maximum expression of the terroir in a highly distinctive manner, through the blending of both the traditional Sangiovese varietal with the Merlot grape, a varietal unfamiliar within the Montalcino DOC.
Since 2004, the Tenuta Luce Estate has been under the sole ownership of the Frescobaldi Family, and with Marchese Lamberto Frescobaldi at the helm of the Luce project, ensuring that Tenuta Luce stands out amongst the finest estates of Tuscany.
Members will enjoy a delicious and informative tasting of Luce wines guided expertly by the authoritative first hand knowledge of Alessandro Marini, who will reveal evocative details related to the making of the wine, and his expertise in the vineyards.
