Critical Recognition

James Suckling 94 pts
Wine Advocate 92 pts
  • 94 Points - James Suckling: ots of blue fruit, graphite and stone aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied with tight and linear tannins and a fresh, vivid finish. Punchy, yet fine, suggesting two to four years of bottle will soften the wine.
  • 92 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: A blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Sangiovese, the Tenuta Luce 2019 Lucente reveals a very pretty dark ruby color over medium concentration. The wine boasts a very lively bouquet with plump cherry fruit, blackberry, sweet spice and toast. At its core, Lucente is a contemporary and international wine with elegant Italian styling and evergreen appeal in both domestic and foreign markets. This softly layered Italian red would pair with your favorite dishes at your neighborhood Italian restaurant. It ages in new and neutral oak for 12 months. An ambitious 400,000 bottles were released at an attractive price point.

Tasting Notes

Deep ruby-red with violet hues, it opens with expressive aromas of ripe blackberries, blackcurrants, and juicy dark plums, seamlessly intertwined with dark chocolate, vanilla, sweet baking spice, and a fine mineral trace of graphite. The palate is medium-to-full-bodied, succulent, and enveloping, wrapping plush dark fruit around fine-grained, velvety tannins and balanced acidity, culminating in a persistent, clean, and warmly spiced finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve at 16–18°C in large Bordeaux glassware.
  • Decanting: Decant for 30 to 45 minutes to let its rich berry fruit and sweet oak spices integrate. Best enjoyed now through 2033+.
