Description
Lucente is a Tuscany IGT red wine, the result of a careful selection of vineyards from Tenuta Luce, chosen for their particular suitability to produce a wine with a fruity profile and great pleasantness; like Luce, it is born from the union of Sangiovese and Merlot, with Merlot prevailing in the blend.
LUCENTE 2022
The 2022 Vintage began with a sunny and cold winter, slightly delaying bud break: late March for Sangiovese and early April for Merlot. Then, the warm and dry spring made up for lost time, with perfect flowering between May and June. Summer played hide and seek with some refreshing rain between July and August, helping the plants grow strong and healthy. The harvest started on August 28 with Merlot and ended at the end of September with Sangiovese, under a clear sky and ideal temperatures.
TASTING NOTES
Visually, Lucente wine presents an intense violet-red color. On the nose, it is characterized by notes of ripe red fruit, with raspberry and sour cherry sensations combined with hints of vanilla and a slight balsamic touch. On the palate, the attack is soft, balanced, well supported by a pleasant freshness and smooth tannins, features that, together with the sweet aftertaste, give the wine length and persistence.
