The Story

A monumental and aristocratic expression of the Frescobaldi family's Montalcino estate, the 2021 Tenuta Luce is a powerful "Super Tuscan" that balances opulence with structural elegance. This vintage presents an impenetrable ruby-purple color and opens with a complex, expansive bouquet of blackcurrants, ripe blackberries, and blueberries, seamlessly layered with notes of dark chocolate, licorice, and balsamic herbs. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and remarkably dense, showcasing a silky, velvety texture and firm, perfectly integrated tannins. The 2021 is noted for its exceptional energy and precision, leading to an extraordinarily long finish marked by savory minerality and refined oak spice.

96 Points -

Blackcurrants, minerals, mint and hints of chocolate follow through to a medium to full body with linear fruit and tannins that run the length of the wine. The tannins are extremely polished, with beauty and style. Needs three or four years to come together. Best after 2027.

95 Points -

Aromas and flavors of lavender, plum, black cherry, vanilla, earth and resin are the hallmarks of this concentrated yet lively red. Firm, ripe tannins give the finish grip for now, yet this red is complex and long, with all of its components in the right place. Sangiovese and Merlot. Best from 2026 through 2042.

93 Points -

This is an iconic bottle that has seen mild stylistic tweaks but that fundamentally has remained quite consistent over the years. Sticking to its blueprint, the Tenuta Luce 2021 Luce della Vite remains a "super Tuscan-styled" blockbuster that speaks more of the grapes used in the blend than it does its territory. It is made with Sangiovese and Merlot. It shows thick extraction, soft tannins and a velvety mouthfeel. The oak tannins are a little dry, but the wine remains plush and accessible overall.
