Lucente is a Tuscan red wine labelled Toscana IGT, presented in an elegant gift box. Its name suggests a bottle intended for convivial moments and occasions where presentation also matters. The available information does not specify a vintage, grape varieties, a more precise production area or ageing methods; its profile is therefore described with restraint, without attributing unconfirmed characteristics. The box also makes it a suitable choice as a gift or for a carefully arranged table.

It may be served as a red wine with flavourful dishes, pasta with structured sauces, meat and cheese, allowing the dish and personal preferences to guide the pairing. It is advisable to serve it at a temperature suitable for red wines and pour it into appropriate glasses to encourage its best expression. Lucente is intended for those looking for a recognisably Tuscan label in a gift box, with a versatile and convivial character. For the vintage and specific organoleptic details, the bottle available should be taken as the reference.

Winery history
The Tenuta Luce project began in the early 1990s with the meeting of Vittorio Frescobaldi and Robert Mondavi. Over time ownership and management consolidated under the Frescobaldi group; the winery developed a historic collection of vintages and, through subsequent acquisitions, established a modern underground cellar integrated into the surrounding landscape. Operational leadership passed to Lamberto Frescobaldi in the early 2000s.
Production philosophy
Enhancing Montalcino's terroir by combining tradition and modern techniques: respect for the soil and attention to quality in the vineyard, grape selection and winemaking that seek a balance between local and international varieties.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards located on the hills of Montalcino with a south-facing exposure. The microclimate, with cool nights, promotes slow ripening and preserves the grapes' aromatic character and structure.
Awards and recognitions
The wines of Tenuta Luce have received high international recognition; some Brunello vintages have been awarded perfect 100-point scores by James Suckling.
