The Lucente 2020 is a blend of the grape varieties Merlot and Sangiovese and is essentially the "entry-level wine" of Tenuta Luce. However, this red wine is far from a simple wine. The blend was aged after fermentation and malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks for 12 months in French barriques, only some of which were new. This allowed it to define and develop its aromas, which were not overwhelmed by the wood.
In the glass, it is therefore a harmonious and charming wine, round and soft, with enticing aromas of dark berries, cocoa, brioche, a hint of thyme, and sage.
