The barrique-aged Tenuta Luce 2020 Lucente is a very well-priced blend of Merlot and Sangiovese. The wine shows a medium to full-bodied approach with sweet cherry, raspberry tart, almond cake and perfumed redwood or cedar smoke. It offers a contemporary style and soft texture that wraps fully over the palate. This is a handy, versatile wine to pair with a good many of your favorite Italian foods.

Winemaker

Lucente is the second wine of Light, and is the result of a selection of the same vineyards, choosing the grapes that produce a contemporary wine, an expression of the uniqueness of the territory from which it comes. It is aged for 12 months in barriques in the cellars of the estate in Montalcino and is bottled by the property.
