The toast friendly gentleman in the picture above Leonardo Frescobaldi is, the current "President" of Marchesi de 'Frescobaldi . The Tuscan family has been developing its business over 700 years in wine. And there came in the course of 30 generations together so naturally a lot: 5000 ha property, spread over 1,000 hectares of own vineyards alone at 9 wineries. Among now (founded with Mondavi) Luce della Vite also Tenuta dell `Ornellaia and .
Some of it was in the wine cellar Mövenpick ready in Dortmund for free tasting. Then there was still a "signing", Frescobaldi adorned in gold magnums and double magnums some with his autograph.

The (expensive) bottles of premium from 30 € aromatic disintegrated into two groups. Mormoreto , Giramonte , and the Brunello Castelgiocondo and Castelgiocondo Riserva had despite all the differences (some of Sangiovese, some Cabernet, Merlot, etc.) seriously a solid core, with "Italian" violet notes and for the most part more pronounced tannins and fresh acidity. The Luce della Vite tips of were open, generous, even opulent - the modern style.
- My favorite of the entire line-ups: Luce Brunello di Montalcino 2005 (14.5% / 78 €) A wine with oomph, wonderful combination of fruit and warmth, sweetness and spice. Like a muscle man in the long tailored black coat, much like this one .
