Alessandro Marini and the Power of Merlot and Sangiovese

Alessandro Marini is head winemaker at Tenuta Luce in Montalcino.  Originally coming from the Marche, Alessandro spent time working at wineries in California and then Bordeaux, where he also obtained his Enology degree.  Tenuta Luce was originally conceived as a partnership between the Frescobaldi family and Robert Mondavi and was the first winery in Montalcino to produce a blend of Sangiovese and Merlot. Jessica and Alessandro explore Montalcino in depth and how Luce occupies a special place in the winemaking landscape.  Links: www.tenutaluce.com Importer to the US:  Vintus.com
