The 2020 Tenuta Luce Lucente is a polished Super Tuscan-style red from Tuscany, crafted from a blend of Merlot and Sangiovese, offering richness with approachability. It reflects a modern, fruit-forward style while maintaining balance and structure. The nose is inviting and expressive, showing ripe blackberry, plum, and cherry, layered with notes of chocolate, spice, and a touch of vanilla from oak aging.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a smooth, velvety texture and soft, well-integrated tannins. Dark fruit flavors are complemented by subtle savoury notes and fresh acidity, leading to a round, supple, and lingering finish. The style is generous yet easy-drinking, making it highly versatile.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent entry into the Tenuta Luce range - ideal for customers who want a Super Tuscan experience at a more accessible level. Perfect for those who enjoy smooth, modern reds with ripe fruit and soft tannins. Drink now or over the next 5–8 years. Great with pasta, grilled meats, pizza, or casual Italian dining.
