The Frescobaldi family has an incredibly rich history in Tuscany dating back to medieval Florence. For the last 700 years, they’ve been growing wine in Tuscany. Slowly and carefully, they have purchased estates, giving them access to all sorts of terroir throughout some of the most prime locations in all of Tuscany.
With properties along the hills of Montalcino, throughout Nipozzano to the hidden gem of Castello Pomino, all the way up to Tenuta Ammiraglia by the sea, and Tenuta Perano in the heart of Chianti Classico, the wines made here all tell profoundly different stories.
The history of Tenuta Luce started back in the 1990s when Vittorio Frescobaldi and Robert Mondavi chose Montalcino to start a new, visionary project: to make a wine that would go beyond the borders of tradition. Little did they know they were out in front of a trend that would soon shape Tuscan wine for decades to come.
Today, the winery goes so much further than the two winemaking greats could’ve ever dreamed when they started all those years ago. The estate now has some of the most exceptional vineyards in Montalcino and, as of 2018, a state of the art winery to nurture every step of the winemaking process.

Rich cherries, cassis, fresh olives and dark spices. Svelte, fine tannins on the medium- to full-bodied palate, showing lots of juicy berries and a linear, extensive finish. Excellent length, focus and structure here.
As soon as you take the first sip on this one, you can easily see the Burgundian connection. Doglia’s Ruche di Castagnole Monferrato 2022 is medium bodied with scents of fresh cut lavender. On the palate, it’s an absolute delight, full of flavor but with an acid backbone that make it perfect to pair with almost any cuisine. Notes of wild fruits and a touch of pepper are just so good. This is a silky smooth, delicious bottle of wine.
WS #4 2019 Wine of the Year, 96 Points, Wine Spectator
2016 was an incredibly special year in Napa Valley. It was essentially the 5th straight vintage of near perfect-conditions and a lot of the big boys produced some of their biggest, most elegant Cabernets to date. Groth’s was still one of the standouts in any group, a deeply concentrated, weighty Cab with sappy, juicy fruit and a carefully intertwined tannic structure. Absolutely gorgeous.
The newly released Fiancetto Howell Mt. Cabernet is a dream – a gorgeous, elegant dark-fruited Cabernet Sauvignon that is it picks up time in the glass, unfurls its full signature of cedar laced cassis nose and mid palate of chocolate-covered cherries and savory spices. Only four palates of this (224 cases) were made off a gorgeous, sprawling high elevation spot 1500 feet above sea level. It’s full and plush and finishes fresh and oh so long. The price is crazy for Howell Mountain Cabernet but that’s what Ry Richards and Fiancetto is all about.

Damien has crafted a delicious Médoc, full of character with dense black currant and cherry fruit, cedar, tobacco and wonderful complexity. It’s silky complexion is what pushes it over the edge (and, of course, the price!) It doesn’t hurt that it comes from a 95-point Left Bank vintage that the Wine Advocate declared, “outstanding.”
