Tenuta Luce Lucente 2016 1.5L Magnum

Tenuta Luce Lucente 2016 is a rich, expressive, and harmonious Super Tuscan red wine produced by the prestigious Tenuta Luce estate in Montalcino. A cuvée crafted primarily from Merlot blended with Sangiovese, it serves as the second wine of the estate, capturing the elegance and character of the property in a more accessible style. In the glass, it exhibits an intense ruby-red color. The nose opens with inviting aromas of juicy Marasca cherry, dark plum, blackcurrant, and violet, interwoven with notes of dark chocolate, star anise, sage, mocha, and Mediterranean brush. On the palate, it is full-bodied, supple, and well-structured, featuring vibrant layers of ripe dark fruit supported by silky, polished tannins and a balanced acidity that extends into a long, savory finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs brilliantly with roasted red meats, grilled ribeye steak, braised beef short ribs, savory pasta ragù, and aged pecorino or Parmigiano-Reggiano cheeses.
