Lucente 2021 leans into ripe black cherry and cassis, layered with hints of dark spice, cocoa and a touch of toasted nut. The Merlot-driven texture is sleek yet generous, framed by fine, svelte tannins that keep the medium‑to‑full‑bodied palate focused and fresh. A long, linear finish gives this vintage both immediate charm and a sense of seriousness beyond a simple second wine.

Lucente is the second wine of Tenuta Luce in Montalcino, a contemporary Super Tuscan-style red crafted mainly from Merlot with Sangiovese, sourced from the estate’s own vineyards on the southwestern slopes of the appellation. Aged in French oak barriques, it’s designed to be more immediately approachable than Luce itself, emphasizing juicy dark berry and plum fruit, supple tannins, and a polished expression of the sunny Tuscan terroir at a more accessible price point.
