Lucente Toscana IGT 2018 - Luce della Vite x 6

Why I suggest Lucente

The perfect balance between the elegance of Sangiovese and the power of Merlot, grapes capable of producing a wine with a contemporary profile, notes that make Lucente the wine capable of representing the excellence and uniqueness of Made in Italy.

The Sommelier: Red wine and in the glass the color is intense ruby, with an excellent alcoholic component 14.40% Vol. Deep and fruity aroma of black cherries in alcohol, plum, fragrant hints of coffee powder, sweet cocoa. Notes of morello cherry, strawberry, blackberry, veiled sensations of bell pepper. The impact in the robust warm mouth, good balance of the tannic part, a return of spicy aroma, excellent long finish.

Suggested pairings: Tasty dishes such as Troccoli with cuttlefish sauce or mixed meat, tagliatelle alla bolognese, pappardelle alla genovese, Apulian orecchiette with turnip greens, seasoned goat cheese, or the typical drunken cheese.

Uncork and wait ½ h before serving at a temperature between 16 - 18 ° C in a large Ballon glass.
