  Very drinkable Super Tuscan that has some nice cherry and plum flavors. The wine benefits from the Merlot in the blend. It adds to the silky finish.

  A wonderful "new" Italian, still excellent but nearing the end of greatness. The merlot gives an softness not usually found in Tuscan wines but it still has a bright acidity that pairs well with food.Drank head to head with a young Chianti (2011 Ser Lapo) and the Lucente won out, probably more to do with the tightness of the Chianti than the excellence of the Lucente.

  We saved this for a special occasion after trying at the Vancouver International Wine Festival and were very happy we waited; this wine really delivered and was a hit at our dinner party. The Merlot in this blend with Sangiovese gives it just that extra depth and body so it goes well beyond a perfect pasta pairing. With good tannins and very fruity nose, the dark fruits such as plum, currants and blackberries are the real highlights. Start drinking now, we think its at its peak and give it a good breather before drinking.

  Un très beau Toscan!
  Beau nez bien équilibré sur les mures, la terre humide et les épices...envoutant!
  En bouche, des beaux fruits noirs croquant et un peu d'anis. Beaux tannins granuleux et acidité bien dosé.
  La finale est longue et satiné.
  Super beau vin, droit ou rien n'accroche!!!
