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 simple. The blend was aged for 12 months in French barriques after fermentation and malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, with only part of the barrels being new. This allowed it to develop and enhance its aromas without being overwhelmed by the wood.
In the glass, it reveals a harmonious and charming wine, round and soft, with enticing aromas of dark berries, cocoa, brioche, a hint of thyme, and sage.
