Fill Level: Into Neck / Neck (typical for well-preserved 1996 vintage) Label Condition: Excellent label Capsule Condition: Excellent Bottle Size: 1.5L Magnum Bottler: Estate Bottled – Luce della Vite (Frescobaldi) Wine / Estate Background: Luce della Vite was born from a historic partnership between the Frescobaldi family and Robert Mondavi, marking one of the earliest and most important Super Tuscan collaborations. The 1996 vintage represents an early and highly collectible release of Luce, produced primarily from Merlot and Sangiovese grown in Montalcino. The wine combines Tuscan structure with international polish, offering evolved notes of dark cherry, leather, tobacco, spice, and balsamic nuances. The magnum format provides enhanced aging potential and slower evolution, making it particularly attractive for collectors and long-term cellaring. Bottle has been perfectly stored in temperature- and humidity-controlled cellar conditions. Drink or Hold: Drink now or hold – fully mature but capable of further graceful evolution in magnum format. Shipping Method: Fully insured shipping with professional protective packaging and tracked delivery.
