What is Super Tuscan?

To talk about Luce we have to lightly talk about the more emerging well-known system of Super Tuscan first, simply Tuscan is talking about Tuscany in central Italy also known as Toscana in Italian, traditionally several large districts of Tuscany such as Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino is mainly growing Sangiovese, but then Tuscany winery wanted to produce expensive wine to cope with the market and international shock, since Bordeaux wine was the most famous and expensive, plus the weather and soil permits, he decided to grow Bordeaux grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and other international grapes.

However Tuscan (meaning wine beyond Tuscany), since Super Tuscan is not officially graded, so of course cannot be printed on the wine label, but the reputation created coupled with the quality so that the country will not mind being downgraded, even today Tuscany are gradually establishing new production areas, so that the area's international wines are recognized.

Luce della Vite, which means "light of life" in Italian, was founded in 1995 and is located in an ancient town southwest of Montalcino The Mondavi family brought new thinking to their land, coupled with their traditional bdm technology, to create Luce, a unique winery that blends old and new flowers. One of the flagship Super Tuscan wines, Luce, is in the well-known Montalcino region, using traditional Sangiovese and half of the international grape Merlot.
