Lucente Magnum by Luce is a red wine in magnum format, produced in Tuscany and presented under the Toscana IGT classification. The large bottle is well suited to sharing at the table and can be an appropriate choice for convivial occasions or a more relaxed service. The wine’s name identifies Luce’s Lucente range, while the available information does not specify a vintage, the grapes used, or details about vinification and ageing. For this reason, the description focuses exclusively on the declared information and does not attribute unconfirmed sensory characteristics.

At the table, it can accompany flavourful first courses, roasted meats or medium-aged cheeses, depending on the menu and personal preferences. It is advisable to serve it in suitable red wine glasses and let it rest briefly after opening. The magnum bottle requires adequate space and careful handling during service. The serving temperature can be moderate, avoiding serving the wine too warm. A suitable product for those seeking a Tuscan red in a generous format, with an identity defined by the Luce brand and the Toscana IGT classification.

Winery history
The Tenuta Luce project began in the early 1990s with the meeting of Vittorio Frescobaldi and Robert Mondavi. Over time ownership and management consolidated under the Frescobaldi group; the winery developed a historic collection of vintages and, through subsequent acquisitions, established a modern underground cellar integrated into the surrounding landscape. Operational leadership passed to Lamberto Frescobaldi in the early 2000s.
Production philosophy
Enhancing Montalcino's terroir by combining tradition and modern techniques: respect for the soil and attention to quality in the vineyard, grape selection and winemaking that seek a balance between local and international varieties.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards located on the hills of Montalcino with a south-facing exposure. The microclimate, with cool nights, promotes slow ripening and preserves the grapes' aromatic character and structure.
Awards and recognitions
The wines of Tenuta Luce have received high international recognition; some Brunello vintages have been awarded perfect 100-point scores by James Suckling.
