Luce Lucente 2023

Luce Lucente 2023 is a modern Tuscan red that brings together Sangiovese and Merlot in a style built for immediate enjoyment, without losing the character of its origins. Made by Luce della Vite - Frescobaldi, it reflects the distinctive terroir of Tuscany while offering a supple, approachable expression of this celebrated region.

Tasting Notes
Expect a vibrant, polished red with a deep ruby color and inviting brightness in the glass. The nose typically leans toward ripe red and dark berries, plum, violets, and a touch of spice, with the Sangiovese adding freshness and lift while Merlot rounds out the bouquet. On the palate, Lucente is smooth and balanced, with juicy fruit, fine tannins, and a modern, generous texture. It is crafted to be immediately pleasurable, yet the structure should allow it to develop nicely over the next few years, gaining added harmony and complexity.

Production
Lucente comes from carefully selected Sangiovese and Merlot grapes grown in Tuscany, where the unique combination of soils, climate, and exposure shapes the wine’s identity. The emphasis is on creating a wine that captures the essence of the terroir in a contemporary, accessible style, with vinification aimed at preserving fruit purity, balance, and finesse.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile red that pairs beautifully with roasted poultry, grilled lamb, Tuscan-style pasta dishes, and medium-aged cheeses. Serve it slightly cool, ideally around 16–18°C, and consider a short decant if drinking young to let the aromatics open up fully.

Producer
Luce della Vite was created as a partnership linked to the Frescobaldi family, one of Tuscany’s most respected wine dynasties. The estate has become known for producing expressive, high-quality wines that combine tradition with a modern outlook, helping reinforce Tuscany’s reputation for world-class red wine.
