Luce 2022

Tasting Notes

There are Super Tuscans - and then there are true Super Tuscans. Luce, an impeccable blend of Sangiovese and Merlot, falls squarely into the latter category. It delivers refined power, with the firmness and structure of Sangiovese balancing the more boisterous and juicier Merlot component. The result is an impression of dark fruit and minerals atop a silky structure. The wine's overall impression is assertive without being flamboyant. Tuscan acidity amplifies its appeal while keeping it fresh and lively. A captivating hint of bitterness in the finish reminds us that it is serious wine. Amazingly seductive now, I'm sure it will evolve beautifully over the coming years. (Michael Apstein,winereviewonline.com,May 21, 2025)
