Toscana (11 DOCGs, 41 DOCs) is the best place for wine tourism lovers: the “stars” are virtually dropping at their feet here. If Tuscany located in the country’s center, is Italy’s heart, then Montalcino is Tuscany’s soul. The Italian masterpieces – Vinos de La Luz – are created just 10 minutedrive from the city of Montalcino, on the premises of an old plant. It should be emphasized that the plant required significant investments to ensure its transformation into a modern winery. Today, these are the modernized facilities with steel tanks for vinification, aging room with oak barrels and an exquisite tasting room. The winery is run by the talented oenologist Roberto Cipresso.
