Its limited production of 11,000 cases a year sells out within 60 days, retailing for about $75 a bottle; 17,000 cases of Lucente, the next rank down, disappear at $28 a bottle. Danzante, with fewer quality constraints, yields 150,000 cases. Since its release in 1997, the Luce line has burgeoned--with new plantings--from $1 million in sales to an expected $12 million in 2000, about $6 million...
