Wine Description
The Story
Lucente is Luce’s second wine, sourced from the same vineyards as Luce, and made from a blend of Sangiovese and Merlot grapes. The grapes are carefully selected to yield a wine with a contemporary flair, reflective of its distinctive terroir. The wine matures for 12 months in the barrel room at the Luce della Vite estate in Montalcino and is then bottled in the cellar there.
