Parker about Lucente 2022
This is a mid-tier blend of Merlot and Sangiovese. The Tenuta Luce 2022 Lucente opens to an inky black appearance. The wine shows oak-driven aromas of cedar and pinewood. But the effect is quite soft and hydrated. You get barbecued flavors and a hint of hickory meat. All the elements are there to underline an internationally-minded red blend. Production hovers at 400,000 bottles made annually.

Suckling over Lucente 2022
This is round and creamy, offering ripe blackberries, blueberries and hints of chocolate and cedar. Medium- to full-bodied with succulent fruit and fine tannins. Compact and focused, with good length and balance overall. Drink or hold.

Lucente 2022

"Lucente" is a remarkable wine from the Luce della Vite winery, located in Tuscany, Italy. The 2022 vintage of Lucente is made from Merlot and Sangiovese grape varieties. These grapes come from vineyards in the heart of Tuscany, a region known for its ideal conditions for viticulture. The Mediterranean climate with warm summers and moderate winters creates optimal conditions for grape ripening.
The grapes for Lucente 2022 are carefully harvested by hand and then processed in the winery. The wine undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation and then ages in oak barrels, which adds additional complexity and structure.
The Lucente 2022 presents itself in a deep ruby red color. Its intense bouquet combines aromas of ripe red fruits such as cherries and plums with notes of spices and vanilla. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and balanced with soft tannins and a pleasant acidity. The fruity aromas are complemented by nuances of chocolate and a hint of oak. The finish is long and elegant, making the wine particularly pleasant and memorable.
The Lucente 2022 is accessible even when young, but can also be aged for several years to develop additional maturity and complexity. It pairs perfectly with a variety of dishes, including grilled meats, pasta with rich sauces, and aged cheeses. This wine is an excellent choice for special occasions and offers great value, embodying the quality and refinement of Tuscan winemaking.
Tenuta Luce
Information about the winemaker:
The history of Tenuta Luce is closely linked to two important wine personalities. In 1995, the Marchesi de' Frescobaldi, one of the oldest and most respected winemaking families in Tuscany, and Robert Mondavi, a legendary Californian winemaker, founded this winery as a joint project. The collaboration between two such renowned winemakers contributed to making Tenuta Luce a symbol of high-quality Tuscan wines.
