Tenuta Luce Lucente - Toscana IGT - Red - 2018 - 1500 ml :

 

LA VITE LUCENTE: A Modern Super Tuscan Masterpiece from Montalcino

La Vite Lucente, the compelling second label from the famed Tenuta Luce estate, offers an exceptional opportunity to experience a high-calibre Super Tuscan. Sourced from the estate's privileged vineyards in Montalcino, this sophisticated Merlot-dominant blend with Sangiovese perfectly marries the richness of Bordeaux varieties with the savoury complexity of Tuscan tradition. It is a wine that fully embodies the estate's philosophy of respect for the land and continuous improvement.

Sommelier's Tasting Notes

A wine of intense ruby colour and a complex, inviting nose. Expect concentrated aromas of ripe black cherry, juicy plum, and a hint of savoury earth, beautifully intertwined with subtle notes of cedar and clove from its time in French barriques. The palate is full-bodied, yet wonderfully silky, supported by fine-grained tannins and a balancing acidity. The finish is persistent and elegant, making it a superb expression of IGT Toscana.

Classic Pairings & Service

For optimal enjoyment, serve at 17°C. We suggest allowing the wine to breathe in a decanter for an hour before serving.
