Tenuta Luce has its vineyards on the hills of Montalcino. Lucente is its Toscana IGT red, here in the 1.5-litre Magnum format.
Predominantly Merlot with Sangiovese. Harvested in September, fermented in stainless steel at about 28 °C for 12 days with 22 days of skin maceration, then malolactic fermentation in steel and ageing in new and second-passage French oak barriques.
Aromas of coffee, cherry, raspberry, blackcurrant, mint and eucalyptus, with notes of rosemary, sage and toasted hazelnut. Medium-bodied and dry. Serve at 18-20 °C with red meat, stews, game, ragù and aged cheeses. The Magnum slows the wine's evolution and is ideal for large tables.
