Tenuta Luce Lucente 2023 is a Tuscan red from the vineyards of Tenuta Luce in Montalcino, combining Merlot and Sangiovese in a modern expression of the region.
Black cherry, blackberry and ripe plum lead the aromatic profile, followed by violet, graphite, Mediterranean herbs and subtle spice. The palate is generous but well defined, with polished tannins, fresh acidity and a savory finish that keeps the wine balanced.
Merlot gives Lucente its round texture and dark-fruit character, while Sangiovese contributes freshness, structure and a distinctly Tuscan edge. The result is immediately approachable but still carries enough depth to work with richer dishes.
Lucente is a useful choice for customers who enjoy polished Super Tuscan wines but want something more accessible than the flagship Luce.
Food Pairing: Pair with grilled steak, roast lamb, braised beef, pasta with meat ragù, mushroom dishes, roasted pork, or aged Pecorino.
Serve around 60–64°F. A short 30-minute decant will help the fruit and savory notes open.
