Winemaker Description
Lucente is the result of a careful selection of the estate’s vineyards particularly suited for the production of a fruity and very pleasant wine. Like Luce, it is made from Sangiovese and Merlot, with Merlot prevailing in the blend.
About Luce della Vite
Luce della Vite — “Light of the Vine” — is one of Tuscany’s most celebrated Super Tuscan estates, born from a visionary partnership between the Frescobaldi family and Robert Mondavi in 1993. Based in Montalcino, the Tenuta Luce estate produces wines that bridge the Old and New World: blending the structure and earthiness of Sangiovese with the richness and suppleness of Merlot. Lucente is the estate’s second wine — sharing the same vineyards and winemaking philosophy as the flagship Luce, but crafted for earlier enjoyment and exceptional everyday value. At under $25, it offers a genuine window into one of Italy’s most prestigious estates.
Food Pairings

Prior Vintage Expert Reviews
Critical Acclaim — Prior Vintage 2022
James Suckling — 94 Points
"Round and creamy, offering ripe blackberries, blueberries, and hints of chocolate and cedar. Medium- to full-bodied with succulent fruit and fine tannins. Compact and focused, with good length and balance overall."
Wine Advocate — 90 Points
"A mid-tier blend of Merlot and Sangiovese. Opens to an inky black appearance with oak-driven aromas of cedar and pinewood — soft and hydrated in effect. Barbecued flavors and a hint of hickory meat. All the elements are there to underline an international-minded red blend."
