Lucente Toscana IGT 3.0L

The Lucente 2023 from Luce della Vite is a dry red wine from Tuscany, juicy and clearly defined. It comes as a 3-liter large bottle, which attracts attention at the table and is suitable for a larger group.

The 2023 vintage began with a mild, dry winter and snow at the end of January. There was a lot of rain in May and June, the summer remained warm, and thunderstorms relieved the vines of water stress. The harvest started on September 1st with the Merlot and continued in the second half of the month with the Sangiovese. Sunny days and cool nights brought aromatic freshness and phenolic ripeness.

In the glass, the wine shows an intense ruby red. On the nose, there are ripe blackberries and red currants, plus a fine roasted note. On the palate, it is juicy and lively, the texture is clearly structured, and ripe tannins give it precision and length.

We recommend it at 16 to 18 °C with pasta with ragù, grilled beef or aged pecorino. The magnum bottle is suitable for family celebrations and long dinner parties.

The Winery

Luce della Vite

Tenuta Luce della Vite – Tuscan high-altitude art. Southwest of Montalcino, the estate extends over 192 hectares, 55 of which are vineyards. 350 to 420 meters above sea level – one of the highest locations in the area.

Sangiovese grows on Galestro soil, while Merlot thrives in deeper, clay- and sand-rich sites. Long, hot summers, southern exposure, slow ripening – this results in concentrated, powerful wines.

Low yields (approx. 30 hl per hectare). Thinning, defoliation – everything to strengthen the character of the grape varieties and capture the essence of the terroir. Montalcino in its purest form.
