Lamberto Frescobaldi, distinguished for his passion for wine and talent as a winemaker, today has the responsibility of shaping the future of the wine project originally undertaken by the founders of the Luce della Vite estate. His primary mission is the upgrading of the estate’s vineyards and the improvement of the winemaking facilities, plus research projects focusing on numerous experimental vineyards. No one was better equipped than he to bring new energy to the project that was launched in 1995, fruit of the dreams and determination of two leading figures in 20th century winemaking, Lamberto’s father Vittorio Frescobaldi and Robert Mondavi. Today the wine estate is part of the Tenute di Toscana holding company, which in turn is controlled by Marchesi de' Frescobaldi.

Italy's most ancient wine region, Tuscany may not be a heavyweight in terms of quantity, but as the home of two of the country's most famous fine wines – Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino – it certainly holds its own in terms of quality. Tuscany's climate ranges from Mediterranean on the coast to continental deep in the Apennines. More than two thirds of the province is covered with hills, an important terroir factor in its fine wines.

Brunello di Montalcino DOCG is located in the hills surrounding the medieval town of Montalcino in southern Tuscany, Italy. The appellation was granted DOCG status in 1980, recognizing it as one of Italy's most important wine regions. The zone encompasses approximately 3,200 hectares of vineyards planted on slopes at elevations between 150 and 500 meters above sea level.

The region's terroir combines a Mediterranean climate with diverse soil types including galestro, alberese limestone, and clay-rich marl. Brunello di Montalcino must be produced exclusively from Sangiovese grapes, locally known as Brunello. DOCG regulations require a minimum aging period of five years before release, with at least two years in oak barrels and four months in bottle. Riserva wines must age for six years total. These extended maturation requirements distinguish Brunello from other Sangiovese-based wines.

Brunello di Montalcino wines are characterized by their power, longevity, and complex flavor development. The wines typically display intense ruby to garnet colors and offer aromas of dark cherry, leather, tobacco, and herbs. On the palate, they present structured tannins, bright acidity, and flavors of red fruit, earth, and spice. The best examples can age gracefully for decades, developing tertiary notes of dried flowers, mushroom, and forest floor while maintaining their distinctive Sangiovese character.
